BBH London creates another controversial Barnado's campaign. Remember the feeding baby cochroaches, methylated spirits and dirty syringes campaign in 2003?
From The Mirror:
More than 300 viewers have complained about a Barnardo's advert showing a father repeatedly slapping his daughter around the head.
The Advertising Standards Authority expects further complaints and says it is one of the 10 most reported ads this year - despite only being on air for two weeks. The ASA said: "People find the graphic violence very distressing. We have launched a formal investigation, looking into taste and decency guidelines."

Kudos to Robblink for having a DALEK as his graphicomnitoconwhatsit... Whatever. But I do love the really cheesy japaneese ads with the blonde guys in purple suits... aka "Lost in Translation"... Having done a couple of spots over there I can appreciate Bill Murray's bemusement dealing with the Japanese director... But What the fuck do we know. I am sure that they get just as many giggles out of most of the shit we produce.
