Puppetry of the penis billboard complaint thrown out by ad watchdog
A complaint made against long-running theatre production Puppetry of the Penis has been thrown out by the Ad Standards Bureau.
The complaint made against the billboard was that it “thrusts the male genital part into the public arena for entertainment and laughs.”
A request made for the billboard, located in Bowen Hills in Brisbane, to be taken down has been rejected.
Puppetry of the Penis Creator Simon Morley commented: “I’m relieved by the Board’s decision but to be frank I’m still in disbelief the complaint made its way to the Advertising Standards Board in the first place. At the end of the day some people see the word penis and get very defensive.”
Puppetry of the Penis was informed by the Ad Standards Bureau that the complaint had been dismissed, although a formal case has yet to be published.
Urr he just said ‘Thrust’
Call me suspicious, but the wording of the complaint makes me wonder whether it is all part of the marketing plan.
PENIS!
He said ‘relieved’ too
The idiot who complained needs a good thrusting.
I feel sorry for the person that complained they obviously have some deep phsycological issues.
The Mad Monk makes an extremely valid point
