Child sex abuse and blowjob subjects of latest Wicked Camper slogans to be banned
Wicked Campers had seen two more of its slogans on its vans ruled against by the Ad Standards Board, taking its tally of banned slogans for 2015 to nine.
Two slogans, “70% of Preists [sic] who’ve tried camels prefer young boys…” and “a blow job is a great last minute gift” fell foul of the ASB, while a complaint against a third slogan, “It makes my heart race when you sit on my face”, was dismissed.
A complaint against the first slogan argued it was “completely inappropriate” to joke about such matters.
“Child sexual abuse is no joke and a painted slogan like this could be extremely triggering for people who have been victims of abuse. This trivialises something very serious. I am the foster mother of a child who has been sexually abused so this is extremely real to us and is why I have decided to make a complaint,” the complaint read.
YAY, the quarterly Wicked Campers poor taste update. Do they have weekly meetings on how to bait the public, generate PR and laugh at the Ad Standards Board?
Keep ’em coming.
Best copywriting around.

Hey Dick van Dyke [edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]? Child abuse is no laughing matter. If you think this is the best copywriting around then you must work for Wicked Campers.
Just a slap on the wrist for gross irresponsibility and stupidity.
