This ad was "poor taste" (warning: autoplay)

So a bra store in Adelaide made up this really funny ad, but it got pulled. Why? Because apparently it was in "Poor taste"

I really fail to see how this one is in poor taste, compared to say, a stripper pole dancing to advertise a Portugese chicken brand (and no, that ad wasn't pulled despite millions of complaints).

While the Advertising Standards Bureau have gotten a little bit better, this one is just.....WHY?????

this really funny ad

I feel like there must be some cultural difference I'm not aware of because I honestly didn't get the commercial at all.

To me this is selling the idea of queue jumping at the mechanics more than a well fitting bra.

The question, "Can you fit me?" is an innuendo, thanks to what's NOT said, as much as what's said.

[Andara Bledin]

I suspect the commercial is about the fact that what you've got on under your clothes can affect how you feel about how you face the world.

I think it's more about attractive woman in skimpy clothing sells skimpy clothing.

Also, boobs.

Well, of course, boobs. Tiny ones at that. In a bra that, ironically, doesn't quite fit right or is otherwise not seated properly so looks like it doesn't fit right.

This "controversy" is probably the best thing that could have happened. The ad is pretty tame by all standards, but thousands who would never have seen the ad now have.

Attractive women in skimpy clothing sell pretty much everything, which makes it puzzling that there would be any special fuss over this instance. Unless, of course, the fuss is deliberately manufactured.

I think the joke is that she is asking for a tire fitting for her car, or asking if they can fit her in for automotive repair.

I honestly don't think it's that bad of an ad. I'm sure i've seen worse. I mean depending the time of day the plan to air it, I don't see the issue.

Especially considering fineheart's comments about the stripper chicken ad not being pulled

Unless, of course, the fuss is deliberately manufactured.

This was the first thing I thought. What better way to increase brand awareness than to create a 'controversial' ad, and have people complain about it to have it removed. Everyone would want to see the ad to see what all the fuss was about.
