The Independent Television Commission (ITC) has banned the latest Tango ads in which actors shout at each other through megaphones. Sixty-seven people complained about the ads, which they believed would lead to copycat bullying.
Complaints were also upheld about advertisements for National Lottery wallets. The promotion “guaranteed a prize in a winning wallet” which included “holiday vouchers”. Viewers were led to believing that they could win something of value when in fact the vouchers were discount vouchers which lacked any inherent value.
The ITC said that viewers had been misled into believing they could win a holiday and upheld the complaints.
