Following on the heals of the banned "roger more" ad in the U.K., there are now swelling complaints surrounding a commercial for tampons. In the spot, which follows a 70s children show format, a woman demonstrates the benefits of this new tampon while the older host gets all excited about it.
It all seems fairly innocuous but apparently 64 people disagree and have logged complaints with Britain's adverting watchdog calling the spot "distasteful", "inappropriate", and "disgusting".
View the spot here.

This morning, I made my regular daily vist to Apechild where there is always a treasure trove of the new, the bizarre, the hilarious, and the sexy. Today I find a link to a Danish Fanta Web site where you can add subtitles to a collection of film clips and end up with your own personalized commercial. It's hilarious. Try it. Become a creative director!
Also, check out some Apechild forum members creations here as well.
