Still Waters Posted November 28, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2012 A commercial for sports goods company XXL has been dropped from daytime television in Norway after viewers complained it was "stupid and provocative". The advert features a hoard of zombies rampaging in a suburb, with residents fighting back with golf clubs, footballs and tennis rackets as weapons drew multiple complaints when it was broadcast on Norwegian prime-time television over the weekend. http://www.telegraph...ing-stupid.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorybebe Posted November 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looks like closing time outside our local pub on a Saturday night. It seems they don't have a very good sense of humour, I find it amusing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted November 28, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) It seems they don't have a very good sense of humour, I find it amusing. So do I, but must say its not the thing I would want the kids to see while eating their beans on toast, especially if they haven`t done their homework yet. I like freaky things, but a lot of people don`t. Maybe they should only screen it on certain channels at certain times.

+ouija ouija Posted November 29, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Loving the new avvi, but its hurting my neck. Oh .... I'm surprised because hanging upside down is supposed to be very good for the spine .... gives the vertebrae a chance to properly stretch out. Maybe you should get that looked at, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted December 1, 2012 #18 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I think it's a great advert. But not suitable for kids so should definately be after the watershed of 9pm. I love zombie films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love zombie films My young daughter burst out laughing at it, she asked to see it again, and the laughing continued..... You have to admit, it was funny.. I loved it, I thought the idea of using sporting goods to beat zombies was fun Edited December 1, 2012 by Beckys_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
