Untitled Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 RAP FOR 'HANDJOB' LEAFLET A car wash company called Scrubbers has been ticked off by advertising watchdogs for a leaflet offering "the best handjob in town."The Luton-based company also offered services including an "in 'n' out, "the quickie," and "the full monty".Scrubbers has defended the advert, which featured a cartoon of a big breasted woman holding a hose pipe.The firm claimed the leaflet was only meant to be left on the windscreens of vehicles in company car parks.But the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) has upheld a complaint from someone who said they had received the leaflet at their home. It said the leaflet, when used as a circular, was likely to cause serious or widespread offence.A spokesman for Scrubbers said: "I feel you could see a whole of a lot worse in the newsagents."She added: "Some people are very small-minded and they can't take these things in fun which is what the intention was.":: The ASA also upheld a complaint against L'Oreal over an advert for a cream endorsed by Big Brother presenter Davina McCall.They said the ad should not have been show during a break in the show.anyone else know of any cheesie innuendo advents?
