Banned Spitfire ale adverts.

Friend Or Defoe

controversial!

adamtheaddick

think the german references are fine a tad Stan Boradman tho for my taste but bit close to the mark with gay comments i can see why that would be banned tho, if you name a beer spitfire you would expect a certain amount of world war 2 references but the bandits advert bit to far.

Medders

Think the whole campaign has been excellent.

I like the "Not for Wagners, Schlossers and Kuntz" one made me chuckle!

Do the Germans have a beer called doddlebug?

And me, Dazzler, lol


Schloss is the German word for castle, so Schlossers means those that live in castles ... ?
Richard Wagner was the German opera composer
Kuntz is the German for art.

Made me really laugh .... brilliant play on German words!

Fantastic advertising the people banning them show what is wrong with this country

Apparently the Bishops Finger ads have been banned too due to being near the mark.

Agree it`s quite funny but that doesn`t make it acceptable.

MCS

Got all the beer mats with the ads that were not banned on the wall in Floyd's. My favourite is picture of a fat bloke with a stupid cocktail next to the words "Stupid Boy..."

what is un acceptable in the advert??

Oggy Red

The PC brigade rule.
Grey minded, grey faced, grey suited amoebas.

We know who are the real Schlossers.
What were they expecting, a complaint from Berlin?

BlackForestReds

Were the advertisements actually banned or is the alleged banning a marketing tactic?

The ones here, I believe were actually released and used. The website states they were banned from the tube...

If you can`t see that some people might think the adverts unacceptable then I doubt my explaining would help.

Would some people really believe that perfectly acceptable everyday German words contain innuendo in the minds of British society ....... ?

The General was full of bar mats, beer mats with those ads on. People were robbing them and the old landlord just kept them coming.

Been about since at least 2005 I'm pretty sure they have been about a lot longer too in Sheps pubs
