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.

Of course, we’d keep it to ourselves and not share it with some standards body. After all, some things should remain private.

Researchers on self-regulated learning have found that effective learners do for themselves much of the checking a teacher might otherwise supply — setting goals, monitoring what’s working, and changing strategy when it isn’t — and that habit can make them better at adapting when they run into a problem they haven’t seen before.
