Slap for TV advertiser's slapping advert

Furniture store MFI has been censured by the Advertising Standards Association for broadcasting a TV ad that showed a woman slapping a man for failing to lower a toilet seat. It was one of five MFI ads that the regulator deemed as condoning "intimidation, domestic violence and aggression." MFI said it didn't intend to cause offence, arguing that the ads were "humorous" in intent. (Via Mad.co.uk)
