wonga add and whitney houston

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012...?ncid=webmail2

ok so the basis of this story is that there is an advert for wonga.com that mentions a body bag played after an advert about whitney, they have been critisied and complained to.


my person view is that it was a mistake, wonga.com have paid for certain time slots for their adverts, yes it was unfortunate that it was put on after an advert about her but i dont think they should be complained to.

what do you lot think?

ive seen that advert loads of times, its usually played after some csi, crime programme. so obviously it was just inappropriate timing.

Since they are the sponsors for drama on Five, and the only dramas they seem to have is of the American crime genre, it was just a bit unfortunate. Not worth complaining about though, some people need to lighten up a bit.

This appeals to my dark sense of humour, however I can see how it would effect the over sensitive.

Sorry but i did laugh, i do think some people need something better to do with their time as it was obviously a misplacement.

Made me chuckle to be honest.

Just an accidental placement, nothing worth complaining about.



Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money.
They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

People are dying every day, when my grandmother died I would'nt have found an advert like that insensitive.
Whitney Houston was a well known singer, made some great songs, but no big deal, no need to make a fuss, much more important & serious things going on in the world ffs.



Can someone advise me how to apply my signature to my posts ? ..., as when I tried my pen scratched my PC screen.
I was so ugly that when I was born the midwife slapped our dad !
