HeHasRisen Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Is this really the level this thread has reached now? Why don't McDonald's show all the ****heads in their branches in their adverts? Why don't Asda show all the shoplifters and security chasing people out the door in their adverts? Why don't TUI show people at the airport on their return journey being told their plane is going to be 19 hours late? Etc etc. 🙄🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Active Travel is something new that the general public no very little or nothing about so it's only fair the other side of the painting is shown.

No organisation is going to point out negatives when they advertise things. Well, not in this country anyway. In America all adverts for medical procedures and drugs have to list the negatives in a voice over, rather than squashed at the bottom of the screen.

Obviously - but my point also still stands - on the same reasoning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something for drivers to think about as they sit in a Vauxhall Corsa in a queue of traffic on their way to Tesco for the weekly shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you serious? Active travel is something new? Do you think they just invented walking? Cycles have been around since 1817. Nothing new at all. You just want to have a pop at everything the council do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
