I don't think so] whereas in adland, their voice has disproportionate power.<BR/><BR/>Lets be honest, if 100 people complained to The Sun about something, no one would take the blindest bit of notice ... but if 100 people complained to Ad Standards mob, then they'd be hell to pay. And I'd know ... I've had more bloody ads complained about than most, ha!<BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, this is quite a major issue - but as it means certain individuals will have to take a long, hard look at themselves [and what they do / believe / aspire for] it is more than likely we're going to see major issues continue down the road of public apathy, while less important situations will create more pointless noise!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
