ASA Ban Pamela Anderson TV Ad
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have banned a TV ad featuring Pamela Anderson, saying it was “sexist and degrading to woman”.
The CrazyDomains.co.uk advert featured the actress in a boardroom full of men. During the ad, Anderson and her “assistant” Vanessa show a lot of cleavage and one of the men fantasises about the pair dancing in bikinis while covered in cream.
The ASA received four complaints about the ad and upheld that it "considered the ad was likely to cause serious offence to some viewers on the basis that it was sexist and degrading to women".
Dreamscape Networks, the parent company of Crazy Domains, said the dream sequence was not "gratuitous or pornographic".
