Interesting. Its pretty controversial stuff, no doubt. It seems the only place for such ads is the internet. It's like the next, allowable 'creative' step after cable tv:
network tv: no nudity, no swearing, mild violence, etc.
cable: nudity, swearing, extreme violence, drug use, etc
internet: porn, swearing, scenes of real violence, discussion of real drugs, and stuff like, 'vw polo suicide ads'.
Its all strangely hypocritical. Anything to get people talking, I guess.
