A peek into the case reports of the Advertising Standards Bureau:

Cheap Drinks
ADVERTISER RESPONSE TO DETERMINATION
I have removed the posters from the clubs facebook pages as of 30 July 2012.

VB or not VB
ADVERTISER RESPONSE TO DETERMINATION
We would like to acknowledge that a number of the comments posted by fans of the VB Facebook page were clearly inappropriate. And we are disappointed that they were not removed through the review process we had in place…..

I refer to your email dated 30 Jul 2012, advising GM Holden (Holden) of the Advertising Standards Bureau’s (ASB) decision to uphold the above complaints regarding a recent Holden Colorado advertisement (the advertisement).

I advise that the material was printed and then delivered to Aussie Post as a “Once Off” promotion.
No further brochures using this image will be printed by us.

Due to the decision made by the ASB we've opted to modify the material.
