"The Advertising Standards Authority rejected all the aspects of the complaints"

Thanks for sharing that one...

I'll now check how long it takes for this "complaint" to reach "La Belle France"... Wink Generally, here, they are unable to think by themselves... Very Happy Thus, I am waiting...

But, you are right... Those are loonies and they do not make me laugh as much as the looney tunes of yore... Sad

FACT #4
There are far more Taxi’s in London than 4x4’s. The MetroCab 2.4 diesel is one of the more popular models used by our beloved cabbies and it’s co2 output is 284 g/km. The following 4x4’s are rated as cleaner than the ubiquitous Metrocab;

* Nissan X-Trail 2.5 4x4
* Mazda Tribute 2.0
* Mitsubishi - Shogun Pinin 2.0 GDI Elegance Station Wagon 5d 1997cc
* Land Rover Freelander 1.8 Petrol
* Land Rover Discovery 3 2.7 V6 Diesel
* Chrysler Jeep Cherokee 2.4L
* Nissan Terrano 3.0 Turbo Diesel 5 door
* Land Rover Discovery Series II 2.5 TD5 Diesel
* BMW X3 2.5i
* Hyundai - Santa FE 2.7 V6 CDX Station Wagon 5d 2656cc auto
* Isuzu - Trooper 3.0TD Citation (7st) Station Wagon 5d 2999cc auto
* Land Rover Defender Station Wagon 2.5 TD5 90 Diesel

Great bit at the end of the article;

In 2000, Land Rover was again accused of racism in its advertising. It was forced to withdraw an ad by the South Africa's Advertising Standards Authority and print a public apology.

The three-page press ad featured a semi-naked African woman in native dress whose breasts were blown sideways by the tailwind of the vehicle. The ad carried the tagline "The new more powerful Freelander".

I'd like a copy of that for my windows wallpaper Laughing
