Crazy Domains dominates the most complained about ads of 2021 so far
Crazy Domains has topped the list of Ad Standards most complained about advertisements in the first 6 months of 2021, with a whopping 283 complaints making it the runaway leader in terms of complaint volume over the period.
The ad in question breached the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) Code of Ethics for its depiction of public urination. Its tagline was ‘The real world sucks for business, you’re better off online’.
The ad was found to contain “illegal and unhygienic” behaviour, with the panel noting that “public urination is an offence in all states and territories of Australia”, and upheld that the ad breached the code because it contained material “contrary to Prevailing Community Standards on health and safety”.
