Coca Cola Oasis Cactus Kid ads banned for teenage pregnancy & water rejection
Posted in: UncategorizedThe Coca Cola owned Oasis drink brand campaign about “Cactus kid” and his pregnant girlfriend has been banned by the ASA in the UK.
The ending to the story was chosen by Cactus kid fans at www.runcactuskidrun.com and aired the 22 August during the Big Brother show in the UK – making this a toothless ban indeed since the campaign has already officially ended anyway. This ad, it seems, was the final straw – the campaign received 32 complaints, which is apparently enough to get something off the air. It does make sense to kick Oasis a little for acting as if it is a relpacement for regular water. That ain’t healthy.
