Yup......on TV last Christmas (presuming that it's the one where he let's the kid go...)

Classic

...but yup, inevitably there were the usual complaints to the TV Broadcasting Complaints Commission or whatever

Great advert

so what was so wrong about it then? was it deemed as being racist cause the snowman was white or something like that?

No, they complained it was racist as it stereotyped jocks as being mean and not sharing.


ASA upheld the defence of it being factually correct.
