Here is a clip from the German show " WWW " which is a German version of the shows I mention above. the channel is Sat one, the " beachball " channel (and former hotbead of early-mid 90's soft porn.) So, its an English commercial shown on a German show. And, to be clear, " WWW " is the shows NAME so its not a watermark? Or perhaps it is a watermark? Sorry if this breaks the rules.

Sorry for lack of caps, I am unable to make them- I have followed all the help etc but it doesn't work right on this pc.

The file is named " Banned " but I think that was simply added as it was shared on the internet. This kind of advert is usually OK in the UK because the clip IS relevant to the product. For example an English advert featured a series of naked bottoms- this was deemed acceptable as the product it was selling was toilet paper!

Adverts that tend to get banned in England typically involve negative sterotypes (many older adverts are shockingly racist.) For example there was a Yahoo advert of a lad getting stripped by his mates, and tied up. He was left and a clearly gay man came along with a lustful expression on his face. This was banned for being homophobic.
BREAKING taboos is typically more acceptable, such as the Diet Coke advert with women enjoying looking at a muscular topless man. However, this can't be stretched too far. Carling Black Label's 80's campaign " Reaches the parts other beers do not " showed a man getting an erection as he drank beer. All other issues aside, this was banned for being simply inaccurate!

So, for ENF to appear in an English advert it would have to be RELEVANT to the product in order not to be considered objectionable, and it would also not be allowed to contain any sexist steroypes.


Also, as a final point - Commercials that feature nudity tend to feature men being stripped etc more than women.

There is a classic where a man is being stripped going through airport security, each time he loses an item, goes through the machine again and the buzzer goes off again (a security lady is setting the buzzer off manually). I think this wouldn't be tolerated if it was a lady being stripped as it would be conisdered sexual harrassment. Or if the secuirty guards were guys-homophobic.
