Banned and censored adverts


There has been many adverts in the history of advertising that have been censored or banned, the decision on banning/censoring some come from the ideas they show and/or the content.

Most of the time the sexual, violent and criminal references get the advertisements banned, some advertisements in the past have been scheduled to air only in evening hours, mostly because of the worries of children watching them and being negatively influenced.

Here are some banned advert examples:


Sexual reference



Sexual and sexist reference - objectifying women



Not clear reason, however I believe it is because of mixing the reality and the game nature
such as violence and murder?



Scary and freaky advertisement - not suitable for children
