Channel 4 ‘carbon skidmarks’

Vile disgusting ad for a TV programme I turn the sound off and look at my phone. Channel 4 should be ashamed.

Well this is timely! I’ve Just driven back from Sainsbury’s on a busy main road to see a hoarding showing white underpants on a washing line with the black stain and the words Carbon skid mark. Had no idea it was for a TV programme but thought to myself it was very inappropriate

Pretty shocking - but that's exactly what makes an ad memorable. It's always the irritating or disturbing ones that make an impact.

It's awful, but I don't think it's memorable, I can't tell you what it is actually advertising.

If enough of us complain they should remove the ad it is horrible.

Absolutely agree. I must be slow but I had to watch it at least 3 times to even understand the message it was giving. I suspect that most/some people in an ad agency must smoke something odd in order to be creative enough to come up with this utter rubbish.

Who thought this ad was a good idea? It's childish humour about a serious subject and has clearly lost us as the intended audience. Is anyone here in favour of it?

It's a vile advert. Disgusting.

Oh - I thought you were going to say it was an ad for washing powder.

My mind (sorry )

Dreadful advert, I agree SusieBQ just when you thought things couldn't get any worse ..........they do .

I thinking Hetty has hit the nail on the head deff DISTURBING.It makes me think of what is kind of mind does this person have who has made this kind of add and also the people who actually agreed to take part can only think they were paid very well!

I was going to post as soon as I saw this the other week then though naggghh getters will just think I'm being a prude and one would be coming along saying. Well if it's made you take notice then it has worked.Blaa blaa blaa.
Well yes it did make me take notice but not about oil. I thought its one of the most disgusting adds trailers I have ever seen. Men gyrating almost doing a set act on the back of a chair a woman gyrating with some kind of pole,skidmarks being oil,all of them doing oo performing a sex act. What has all that got to do with Climate change. Also it was on during the day but seemed a watered down one. Utterly disgusting, almost( and no I've never watched one) like watching some kind or orgy! If I see it coming on( the man sat on the plane) I switch over.

I agree.I think it must be the most dreadful advert ever.

Dreadful.
