Video Flagged Dead

Banned Advertisement for the Hyundai 4WD

submitted by James Roe

1 decade 7 years 8 months 4 weeks ago

"An award-winning advertisement on Australian TV for the new Hyundai 4WD has been pulled from being broadcast after stations received 80 complaints from concerned parents. The ad consists of a small child, age around 2 years, cruising down the road, window down, arm out the window, in his new Hyundai 4WD. He sees a girl of the same age standing on the side of the road, pulls over picks her up, and they go to the beach together. All in all it's cute, funny, and very well done. The ad aired late in the evening (8:30 pm or later), but it was pulled due to concern from parents about the copycat risk. What I want to know is, where has the responsibility of parents gone? Is the world becoming so serious — or so frightened — that fantasy is no longer allowed?"

Wow, some parents really have odd ideas about things their kids can or would do. I wonder if this means they'll be after Spielberg too for that scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom where Short Round does some driving...

Yep. We're all idiots.

What a bunch of idiots. This AD is nothing but cuteness all over.

I dunno, normally I'm against over protection but this time I happen to agree with those idiots.
