This one might change Keira Knightley’s image: the actress best-known for playing Jane Austen heroines has had her new ad for Coco Chanel Mademoiselle banned in the UK because it’s too sexy.

Whatever are the people at Sodastream complaining about? Having their ad pulled from television – in this case by the donkeys at the TV advertising clearing house Clearcast – is a gift.

Clearcast is the (privatised) body that clears (or not) TV ads for transmission in the UK. Usually it lets any old rubbish through. But it’s it’s banned this Alex Bogusky-inspired ad from UK transmission despite it running all over the world. It’s making a perfectly valid point, which you may or may not agree with. [...]

Companies are such good global citizens these days (the LBGT community of lesbians, bisexuals,gays and transgenders seems to have more supporters than Manchester United). But the favourite theme for most of the world’s big corporations seems to be ‘sustainability,’ with Unilever in particular trying to take the global lead.
