Bully ad to rude?

Bully ad to rude?

The Advertising Standards Authority has heard complaints about the TV advertisement for Bully: Scholarship edition on the wii.

The advertisment showed Jimmy Hopkins using a slingshot, also 2 students giving another student a wedgie and a cook sneezing into a pot and others.

According to the ASA a website over 30 people have complained about the Bully ad. Some of them saidit was "offensive and distasteful and it encourages bullying to occur, while others thought it was shown at bad times .

The ASA also dismissed the complaints, "Some might find the name and content of the game to be a very very bad taste, the content of the ad was not likly to cause serious offence."

Why dont you give your opinion of the ad?

Hmm, I just watched it and it was offensive IMO. People are just stuck up, they see something negative and they chuck a hissy fit. They need to accept that some things arent all butterflys and rainbows.
