Telkom not playing with fire

A Telkom advertisement featuring a man whose arm is on fire was the subject of an ASA complaint.

 

[Mr Scratch]

Stupid complaint.

 

[Pixelbender]

Stupid complaint.

Watch out, she'll lay a complaint somewhere else about you saying it's a stupid complaint.

People like her that limits creativity and that other motherbuffer complaint. Anyway, I'm glad she lost, so now the Ad agencies will get more risky/creative.

 

[Easter Bunny]

if she complained about that ad, then i imagine they probably have a mailbox rule and a folder for all her other complaints.

Some people are only happy when they cause misery or pain to other people.

What a stupid complaint.

My complaint: Telkom would have let you burn to death before serving you, so false advertising.

 

[ShaunSA]

Why hasn't this tannie been named and shamed yet?

*** ad though.

I know. Irony #1 is I've just been put on hold twice for so long I've eventually just put the phone down after hearing their stupid ad's repeated at nauseam

Irony #2 is they are not always on

Typical tannie indeed!

This advert freaked me out the first time I saw it. It's as if the store owner suddenly gets possessed by some supernatural force when he speaks to the guy who's on fire.

I did not see that coming!

 

[requiem]

lol.

I enjoyed that advert.

If only it was for a company that actually worked.
