Take a look at the screenshot above and see if you can figure out why this commercial by Premier Estates Wine got banned when one of the things the woman in the ad says is, “you can almost taste the bush.”
Not too hard to figure out, is it?
Apparently the U.K.’s Advertising Standards Authority also figured it out and didn’t think it was appropriate to be aired on TV over there. Go figure.
The ASA considered that most viewers would understand the claim “… some say you can almost taste the bush” to be a reference to oral sex, particularly given that it was accompanied with the image of the wine glass positioned directly in front of the woman’s crotch. The line appeared towards the end of the ad and, in conjunction with the image, which emphasised the sexual connation, created the final impression left by the ad.
Hmmm… are we sure that’s what they intended? Oh, they also created a social media hashtag, #TasteTheBush? Well okay then, never mind.
