Nude adverts

The commercial, broadcast during six episodes of Channel 4's Hollyoaks, can no longer be shown following the ruling from the Advertising Standards Authority. The commercial for the mobile app Nude Scanner 3D sparked complaints from viewers who said it was demeaning and that it was broadcast at a time when it could be seen by children.

Seven viewers complained that it could cause serious or widespread offence because it was demeaning to women and seven said it could encourage anti-social behaviour.
