00:00Two advertisements in 2024 were considered so offensive that they breached Australian
00:06advertising standards. The first was a mobile billboard promoting a brothel featuring sexually
00:12suggestive imagery, which received 28 complaints. The second was a home insurance ad for Budget
00:19Direct, featuring a pool cleaner coming to life, which received 23 complaints and was
00:28deemed by the board to be too violent and frightening, particularly for children. KFC
00:34topped the list of most complained about ads in 2024 with a total of 110 complaints across
00:40two sexually suggestive TV commercials. One took the crown with 69 complaints about a
00:46woman exiting the bedroom of a younger man, much to the surprise of her daughter. If an
00:51ad is found in breach of the rules, Australia's Ad Standards Community Panel will direct the
00:57advertiser to change or remove it.
