Offensive Advert?

This recent Oasis Cactus Kid ad is currently under investigation by the ASA following complaints that it normalises / glamourises teenage pregnancy and discourages people from drinking water. Do you agree? Should it be banned?

As a general rule I don't agree with banning unless its a serious breach of standards. I don't think this quite does that (although as a father of 2 girls I did need to think about it for a few moments).

I think its a terrible ad and it would never encourage me to try (let alone use) their product.

I would guess that the natural order of things will see it pulled quite quickly.

Agree with you Michael. Is really mediocre. Banning it would make the Campaign famous and provide it with unwarranted publicity
