The advert was able to be interpretted in two ways, one way was that there was nothing wrong with it, the other way was that there was something wrong with it.
This point was never really argued, I never said the advert was ok, I just didnt think it warranted so many people jumping on a bandwagon and reports top the ASA.
What I argued against was people reporting this, what has it gained? what did you achieve.......oh sorry yeah a thanks from the ASA, which is about as worthwhile as a big tick a gold star and a Well Done form your primary school teacher.
I stated that the ASA would do nothing, I was wrong, they actually did "Next to Nothing" See I can admit that I wasnt 100% correct all the time. 
Had the advert been as serious as some of the users on here seemed to think it was the ASA would have indeed fined NTL. They didnt, draw your own conculsions from that. |
What was achieved:
NTL recognised a mistake in their advertisement
Advertisement will not be repeated
Therefore only a limited number of people will be under the impression that spiderman was availiable to download before in cinemas and it was acceptable.
We won't win the nobel prize for it (we just have too much time on our hands). But quite frankly if you don't care why have you been defending them?? I find your attitude lazy and selfish.
