Dissatisfied with new advertising

Regarding the AF advertising. I wonder why the ad executives at Minute Maid did not consider common decency when designing this ad. It is in poor taste. Clearly aimed at a younger audience. I hope your new demographics can afford your beverages, as I will no longer purchase them. Thank you. Debra McIntyre

Preferred solution: Discontinue AF catchphrase in advertising Minute Maid products.

User's recommendation: Buy any other brand.

Investigations executive Sally Ramsden was recently found guilty of accepting bribes from advertisers who break the Advertising Standards Agency rules.

Sally's details are: Sally Ramsden Investigations Executive sallyr@***.org.uk 0207 492 **** Sally Ramsden from the ASA was found guilty of taking a £2700 bribe from a well known online retailer, to hide customer complaints, so that the advertiser could continue breaking the law. Whilst Sally Ramsden await trial, she is still in the position to continue her employment with the Advertising Standards Agency (www.asa.org.uk), which in itself is a scandal.

Sally, Sally Ramsden. I wondered how long it would take for her back-handers to make it onto the internet :-)

Sally is well known for taking money of companies who have had complaints about them. The advertising standards authourity should have sacked her years ago.

And the poster below hit the nail firmly on the head, although Sally is not exactly a looker, in fact, you would need a bag on her head, but when sex is handed to you on a plate, like Sally offers it, it is difficult for her bosses to turn it down.

I know of at least 7 companies, and instances where Sally Ramsden has taken money, in return for letting bad advertising go. There was one rumour that she also took an all expenses paid holiday a while back, to forget a complaint had even come in back a well know scam mail order company, Streetwise marketing.

Nashy!

I also work in the advertising and media business, and Sally Ramsden is well known in these circles for taking, shall we say, 'benefits', in return for turning a blind eye to adverters flouting the law.

In fact, the last advertising company I worked for had a direct line to Sally Ramsden if they wanted to solve a problem.

Sally likes the high life, and is known for taking bungs. I spoke to her once at her ASA offices, and the tone of the conversation very quickly turned to what she was willing to do for cash advances 'under the table'.

Sally should have been prosecuted years ago, but her bosses know Sally, and let's just say, she 'loosens' up after a few drinks and uses her 'feminine' charms to smooth over problems with her bosses.

My old boss even slept with Sally, when she threatened to pull the plug on a particular advertisement.

Sally Ramsden is known in the advertising industry for being as corrupt as they come, and she is definitely open to bribes. I have heard of many instances.

She is rotten to the core, and should definitely not be charge of the ASA. It is a scandal that she gets away with it.

It is a disgrace that Sally Ramsden has been caught taking bribes from the very people she is fining.

Disgusting!!
