Vodaphone TV Ad Claimed to Encourage Pedophilia

A cream and kiwifruit covered teenager appearing in a New Zealand Vodafone TV ad, claimed to encourage pedophilia, has been deemed acceptable by the Advertising Standards Complaints Board. Can’t people just watch commercials without reading sex into it all the time. Oh wait. Had we seen the ad, we’d have reveled in its lurid qualities and crafted an elaborate sexual fantasy of our own. Of course, we’d keep it to ourselves and not share it with some standards body. After all, some things should remain private.
