Was This Banned Ad Too Naughty For TV?

May 29 2008 - 3:00pm

The following commercial for the Chrysler Concorde was banned from TV a few years ago. The Chrysler folks did away with the standard car-commercial spiel, amped up the sex appeal, and offended a few consumers in the process. While some didn't see the harm in a backseat sex joke, others found it completely inappropriate to use off-color humor to market a spacious family sedan. Four years later, with the rise of print ads like this [1] and raunch reality all over TV, are we still offended by this kind of advertising ploy?
