Putting a disclaimer on an advert for this is problematic from my point of view.
Imagine, if they disclaim this then they have to also disclaim:-
Child porn
Music files
Software files
Hardcore porn
Offensive language
Offensive images
Racial prejudices
Terrorist bomb making info (jolly rogers cookbook et al)
By tthe time they had finnished there would be little space left for the advert anyway.
You cant disclaim against peoples stupidity.
But however you look at it, Reporting NTL to FACT and the ASA was pointless, it was detrimental to NTL and I am not happy having to pay ntl and have them pay fines, because of the actions of users here, instead of using the money to upgrade their services.
We may only be talking of a few thousand pounds but hell thats not really the point is it? I do not back ANY of the people that have reported NTL to relevant organisations I oppose you for this and will carry on doing so.
But yes I think the advert is stupid and badly written but as I said before, Its impossible to know how people will look at a wriiten passage and interpret it. You cannot account for peoples stupiddity and the fact that some people INSIST on reading in between the lines.
