TOP 5 MOST BRUTALLY STRONG BANNED PRINT ADS

Banned ads are the best ads. They are made to elicit the kind of strong response that will have you spreading the word about what you've just seen and draw more attention to them. But let me just stop you on your tracks to point out something really simple that you might just have missed (no offense, OK?).
You shouldn't be able to get hold of something that's been banned. Not unless a thriving black market supplied you with the product you're demanding. How come then that banned ads are all over the Internet in form of videos and print ads? What are banned ads really?

Most of the times, these commercials are purposely inflammatory ads. They are created to be so extreme that no outlet would respectably publish them. They play on timeless topics like sex, death and abuse human emotions to the extent that you can't not react to them.



Marketers not only never go full on delivering these ads to any publishing outlet, but they pretty much spoon feed them to bloggers with the intent of creating a shit storm of controversy about the ads and draw attention to their clients. That's the rule of the game.


For an ad to be banned it should have run somewhere and then pulled. Most banned ads are published for the first time by the people who supposedly are reporting about their banishment. The irony. Then again, there are people uploading ads on YouTube that they might have just recorded from their TV and labeling them as banned because it's just draws more traffic. Can you blame them?
