This is from the current bun

HERE’S Harry Enfield in another ad that is sure to get up people’s noses. The comic pretends to snort a line of cocaine – but it is actually a white KITTEN which vanishes up his hooter.

The ad, for broadband firm Madasafish, comes after his previous one involving Winston Churchill was banned.

What ever takes your fancy, each one to his own

Needless to say if the AD came on TV, I would switch channels.

I can see him getting away with snorting a kitten up his nose..but if it was a serious ad there is no way that the "F" word would be used.....

i suppose it could depend in which country it was been shown :-)

cant see anything to offend me.Would have been funnier if they would have used Robbie Fowler instead of Mr Enfield though!!!!!LOL

Hell I liked it =)

I must be sick because I found that funny

Acrylic-bob · 31-01-2005, 11:29

Me too. But I suppose the humourless PC brigade will be hopping mad about it - plus ca change... (damn there's never a cedilla around when you need one!)

Not my sense of humour. I can't see the "F" word being accepted in a general ad but the kitten content doesn't actually offend me, it just puzzles me as to how that can be an ad for broadband.

Do you have to be on broadband to see it, cause i'm still on dial up.i'll have to wait for another couple of days till my broadband is up and running.

Didn't really offend me however I did think it was a little stupid, And I didn't laugh just raised my eyebrow quizically.

I think it might have something to do with getting a lot more information down the same telephone line as dial up.
