UK bans "world's thinnest phone" commercial: "sexually suggestive" and "likely to cause serious offense."

Fritz! Fritz, get up for God’s sake! Get up! They’ve killed Fritz!

Personally I the most offensive thing is the voice over.
I’m sick of hearing that dreary voice in some affected brit accent.


I’d rather see a thin smartphone ad based around this

an excuse I often tell my wife. Though she doesn’t buy either.

From what I saw on a limited sample (3 or so), to my considerable surprise, is that a gay porn is also fairly popular in that demographics. Don’t ask me why; hypothesis, corresponds to lesbian porn popularity with males. Little known (to me at least) but apparently considerable phenomenon.

As if anyone living in an apartment like that does her own ironing. And when was the last time you saw anyone that age taking a voice call? Do they not have texting in the UK?

So that’s what Barbra Streisand looks like nowadays.

I am offended by this ad, in this day and age people are still using that ridiculous cliched black and white shot but one item maintains colour like it’s Schindler’s fucking List but in fact it’s lamer than those posters of a desaturated London with a red postbox or bus and the dickhead chump who sued everyone that copied his boring bastard overdone style.

BTW can you actually iron this phone? 'Cause if so they coulda sold it to me based on its heat enduring properties.

I see what you did there. :slight_smile:

5.15mm thick… Man, and people thought the iPhone 6 bent easily?

Although… Sweet jesus, they’re charging 249 pounds for that phone??? That’s a hell of a premium for thinness, considering most MT6592 processor Chinaphones (especially with under a 5" screen, not to mention only having 1gb RAM) will sell for under $150 USD.
