Best rejected advertisement

Good advertising is always going to be about pushing the limits. About destroying taboos and reviewing old conceptions. However, if you look around the world you will find that over top is a very relative term.

While farting is perfectly ok, showing tits is a categorical no in the USA. Ironically in France the opposite is true. Interestingly a rather innocent beer ad would be definitely banned in Saudi Arabia or neighbouring states, not only because it advertises alcohol, but more importantly because it showcases evolution. However, the most brutal violence on TV or the cinema is ok to show even to small children.

Luckily on the internet with an exception of a very few topics almost everything goes. If you are interested what ads got banned and rejected visit the site Best rejected advertising
