ASB?

Have you seen one too many hitler ads? Well, now is your chance to do something about it. Say hello to ads from the Ads Standards Bureau.

And while I do thinks the art direction is fun and funky...these ads are as lame as the concept of the ASB.

The ASB is here to make sure all advertising, wherever it appears, meets the high standards laid down in the advertising codes. Our website will tell you more about the rules for advertising, let you complain online, and explain how the ASB is working to keep Australian advertising standards as high as possible.


In one ear and out the other. The same line three times in a row. For some reason,  I cant help but to think MADD and PETA are behind this. Or atleast, some graphic designer trying to be an art director (joke...but not really).

Say hello to the age when demographics become just a little p*ssy and advertising becomes lame...at least in australia. 
Wrrrutt Wroooh.

I find the ASB ads offensive. Showing a far drunkard, immigrant cab driver and a hipster druggie...playing into stereotypes in such a boring way is insulting.

valid point.

aussies tend to be a little bit backwards though.

Lets be a blunt asshole, shall we?

First off, at least the fat chick has nice tits.

Second off, there are too many people fucking preaching their morality while wiping child semen off their robes.

I'd change the copy to:

If you find an ad offensive, you should try advertising.
