Advertisement can be very creative these days. Some of them try so hard to be different than the rest, the ad gets rejected or banned. This is because of offensive or shocking content.

Here are a couple ads that got rejected or banned. Remember: They are rejected for a reason and I'm pretty sure you'll see why.

Rejected or banned advertisement

I'm pretty happy to not-see some of these as a real advertisement. Why do you think some ads are banned?

Cat   2008-02-16 05:07:51 A lot of these aren't banned or rejected...they're just made up. But I've seen all the Dolce and Gabbana ones in magazines, so they weren't banned at all. Reply | Quote

Marco - Depending on country   2008-02-16 09:18:28 Those D&G ads are banned in several countries (not in all). For example, the first D&G ad was banned here because it looked as if there were a couple of guys raping the girl Reply | Quote

Jesus - Which countires   2009-10-27 04:10:34 Which county are u from? im doin a research paper on banned commercial and cultural differences Reply | Quote

Ben - Hmm   2008-02-16 15:03:19 I can understand why they banned most of these. The "Roger More" condom one is good though; a bit of light humour I thought... Reply | Quote

mark - Geat pictures   2008-02-16 17:58:19 You gotta love those midgets at a urinal. "Like a midget at a urinal...I had to stay on my toes"...Naked Gun Reply | Quote

Shai - Kiss Cigarettes   2008-04-23 23:35:34 The "Kiss" cigarette ad wasn't regected at all. As you can see, it has the hebrew "Cigarettes cause addiction" warning, as it was published in many magazines & newspapers in Israel. Reply | Quote

Alex - ...   2008-05-02 04:14:32 They may have been published in some countries, but not all. Reply | Quote

Rei   2008-05-08 00:03:37 I didn't think there was anything wrong with the Durex condom ad, I thought it was funny. xD And I don't remmeber that 'girls dressed by boys' thing on TG4, don't even know what program it was for and i hate those irish channels, so it might not've been banned...Ah well. It would've been awesome to see that though xD Reply | Quote

courtlove   2008-10-03 22:06:53 The Dolce & Gabbana ones look fine to me. I don't understand.. hm. Reply | Quote

rekoil   2008-11-21 22:18:56 As other people have pointed out, the D&G ads were printed in many magazines, as was the Gucci ad.. and the Hitman ad.. and the Tiger beer ad. Should I go on? Reply | Quote

Jesus   2009-10-27 04:17:14 Hey which country are u from? Im in singapre, doing a project on cultural differnces and banned commercials.. just wanted to know where some of these ads were published Reply | Quote

Martin Lewis - But...   2009-10-09 00:54:02 ...you have to admire the creativity that has gone into these. Reply | Quote

Coin Coin   2010-01-14 17:36:53 The Eastpack advertising (the girl with the knife) wasn't rejected. I saw it on a magazine in France (i still have this one but don't remember the name). Reply | Quote

pat   2010-03-01 15:20:52 The tg4 ad ran. And won a number of awards. Reply | Quote

yun   2010-04-21 03:53:18 nowadays,most of the advertisement contain sex behavior...it is the way to attract customer? Reply | Quote

crear páginas web   2011-07-15 17:57:16 very interesting collection! Lots of things on my mind right now... Reply | Quote

mg mat - D&G AD   2011-10-09 03:07:45 I do see that the ad insults and humilates women verses nude men in power to imobilize innocent women, in the presence of hunks around her to get their turn after the macho finishes with her. No respect to audience Reply | Quote
