A provocative ad for an Australian winemaker with the tagline “you can almost taste the bush” has been banned in the U.K. for its obvious sexual reference.
The U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the online advertisement from Australian-based Premier Estates Wine, which used the cropped image of the woman’s crotch with a wine glass in front of it “served to reduce the woman to merely a sexual object” and that the reference to oral sex in the hashtag would be clearly understood, which was in breach of the advertising code.

Cute ad. Don't know if you've seen this one. I was surprised it's still airing.

As a Mason, owing to the fact that we manipulate the media, I am much more attuned to picking up subtle sexual cues in advertising than the average person.

Never thought that. Just remembered why I couldn't get a job as a prison guard years ago! Aced the test except for the part where you have so long to look at a picture and then take a test on what you could remember seeing. Failed miserably!!!!
