Apple's 3G iPhone commercial ad has been banned from television. No - not for being too sexy - although that was apparently also a complaint. Exactly 17 viewers found the new ad to be misleading. The 30 second advert (as the Brits apparently refer to them) displays that the newest iPhone "helps you get the news, really fast", and "download pretty much anything, really fast."Vague language, indeed, but the viewers (and The Advertising Standards Authority who backed them) said that those who witness the t.v. spot could be bamboozled into thinking the device was actually as speedy as it appears in the vid.
Not a tolerable situation, apparently, and so the commercial was removed. Good to know that 17 bitchy T.V. viewers can make an impact in this big, corporate world of ours. This is the largest problem in these peoples' lives? They must be extremely convincing - maybe they could, say, join forces in order to stop world hunger... maybe that might make their list of priorities.
If you're interested in viewing said outlawed material, you can find the content in the upcoming release of "Banned! Too Hot for T.V.! #17". DVD only $15.99; but you can probably just download it onto your iPhone, really fast... Or can I say that?
iPhone - this month's rebel without a cause!
