Time for a

Back in a week or so, Scylla and Charybdis permitting.

A CAMRAD addendum, and possibly a complete supercedence:
the toothless but endearing ASA actually have an entire code clause
dedicated to adverts which pretend not to be, and their
archive
of relevant rulings is a mine of fascinating, wearying examples.
Best and worst of all is an astounding Transport
for London commercial on the risks of motorcycling
from last year, in which a public-service cinema advert was preceded by
piece of "live drama" - an actor pretending to be the manager, visibly
informing an actress in the audience that her motorcycling partner had
been killed on their way to the cinema, to hysterical response.
Also, suspiciously, today's post brought us a Jaffa Cakes voucher in
the form of a fake-handwriting from-a-friend post-it note, which was
attached to a flattened Jaffa Cakes box (genuine, but unglued
at the ends) and apologising for eating all the contents.

| CAMRAD Update #7: Jaguar are savaged by the ASA for sending out
fake
stalker-style love letters over Valentine's Day; stamped envelopes
with typed addresses, and promises of sending "photographs" a few days
later.
