Britain Bans Twix Commercial That ‘Encourages Unsafe Driving’

This is a Twix commercial that was recently banned in Britain after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled the ad “condoned unsafe driving.” Yeah, leave that to virtually every non-minivan car commercial in the U.S.

[The ASA] took issue with the first half of the video that showed driving “that appeared likely to breach the legal requirements of the Highway Code”.

Mars-Wrigley, who own Twix, argued that the ad had a “cinematic presentation” and was set in a “world that was absurd, fantastical and removed from reality”, which Clearcast, the non-governmental organisation that approves adverts before broadcast, echoed.

Should the commercial be banned for promoting unsafe driving? No, but it should be banned for not being a good commercial. Whatever happened to good commercials? We should bring those back. And any commercial with somebody yelling or a goat bleating should be banned and the company forced out of business. I’m looking at you, Geico.
