Watchdog snaps at car wash's 'handjob'

LONDON (AFP) - A car wash called Scrubbers was reprimanded by advertising watchdogs in Britain for circulating a leaflet that boasts "the best handjob in town".

Services offered by Scrubbers, based in Luton, northwest of London include an "In 'n' Out and a Polish Off", "The Quickie," "The Full Monty" and a "Personal Service".

The eye-popping phrases appeared in a leaflet -- intended for distribution on windshields of vehicles in company parking lots -- illustrated with Scrubbers' logo: a cartoon of a car-washing buxom blonde.

The Advertising Standards Agency, upholding a complaint from a member of the public who got the leaflet at home, said it was "likely to cause serious or widespread offence and was inappropriate to be viewed by children".

It urged Scrubbers -- where "handjob" means a manual car wash -- to take more care when distributing its leaflets.

Maureen Gallagher, from Scrubbers, disagreed with the ruling, saying "you could see a whole of a lot worse" on the upper racks of newsstands where adult magazines are displayed.

"Some people are very small-minded and they can't take these things in fun, which is what the intention was."

I love double meaning ads; and let's admit it, they are effective advertising strategy.

reed_4 · 08-05-2005, 04:15 AM

LoL, funny way of making a good ad.

Dark Knight · 08-05-2005, 04:19 AM

seems that can't see the fun in double minded ads. Many english people are way to narrow minded and often to fast offended but not important stuff.

The English never really escaped Victorian values.

I've never seen a people who were more imprisoned by their own history than the English.

Well, having grown up in the States it is nothing compared to there. The whoel British sea side humour thing as displayed in the Carry On films, etc has never really left.

BuggyG · 08-05-2005, 12:40 PM

LOL, Tiddles was actually seen in the reunion series... wasn't blue, but then again Mrs. Slocombe had knocked off the colors herself by that time

lottrbacchus · 08-05-2005, 03:48 PM

well now, somebody DOES have to watch out for the children. they should have just had pictures of graphic violence, then it would have been ok (at least in the states)

abadfish · 08-05-2005, 03:52 PM

I'm sure the extra attention from the people opposed to the ad will only give them more attention, sales, and exposure! So it's a great ad and marketing.
