Once again humor is trumped by those who love to bitch about ads with animals in them. A recent ad for Volkswagen which shows a dog having a great time while rising in a VW and a not so good time when he’s not. England’s Advertising Standards Authority has received 500 complaints about the ad but were told by the ad’s creators the dog in the ad was acting. Still, the organization is “very disappointed that Volkswagen feel it necessary to portray a dog suffering to sell cars.

You can argue this one either way. Have at it in the comment section.
