I havn't seen it but it now makes sence why a old man at the park was shouting "do you use Daz to make them run" at me in the park tonight I just thought he'd had a lemonade to many and smiled and walked on.

I have saw the advert and by the sound of it they aim to continue the story line, I feel sorry for Peter and Kathye with their hound named Daz, think they might be in for a bit of a ribbing.

Yes, I've seen it - just typical of Procter & Gamble though!!

Okay, who is the person to complain to about this? Would it be the ITC?

I've not seen the advert. Katrina, could you give some details about when it was on, and what channel? Many thanks.

Missy · Master

Sorry I can't remember which channel or what time but I will post that info when I see it again. In fact IF anyone sees the advert again can you post the info here for FAJ.

I was so mad at seeing the advert that I forgot to note the details.

Thanks
Katrina

For complaints regarding TV I believe its now OFCOM if anyone feels like complaining.

From your brief description of the advert I think you would be wasting your time complaining. An advert has to be offensive in some way before they will take action eg if it featured a greyhound being run over by a car, you might get somewhere. This advert from what you say merely sounds a bit silly.

A slightly different approach would be to find out a contact for the marketing department at Procter & Gamble and send them the links to all the 'killing fields' stories, with a little note saying do your realise that with your advert you seem to be condoning this sort of thing.

Marketing departments sometimes take these things seriously if they think that they may get bad publicity of the wrong type.

In fact a quick search brings up this page

Clairehttp://www.uk.pg.com/contactUs/contactUs.html with lots of contact details.

I would offer to write and send the e-mail but as I havent seen the advert it would be difficult to comment.

I have seen this advert a few times now, always on ITV. Have not really noted what time it's usually on at but i have a feeling it's in the evening around emmerdale, coronation street sort of time.

The gist of it is that the dog isn't fast enough but when they wash the white rabbit in daz the dog zooms off chasing it. Think the worst bit is the comment at the end, something along the lines of "we have got a real money spinner there", can't remember exactly.
