Hillarious! A bit controversial though… or is it? I’m assuming it was aired on Brittish Tv, so it had to pass censorship standards – to what extent do these apply to advertising with regards to sex? Or are they flexible – a case of the product/service company paying that little bit extra for that little bit more shock value?

its a pretty long add for tv, it may have just been on the net – not sure! but shorter version could have been aired on tv.. they are clearly going for the ‘virgin trains adds are a laugh’ rather than ‘virgin trains adds are hot’ line, but still the add is totally random!! it uses a story about animals (ppl dressed up as animals) having sex too early in the year as a reason to take the train .. it grabs our attention (i think) because ppl dressed up as birds pretending to have sex behind a police man in a park is always going to be funnier than ppl dressed as birds talking behind a policeman in a park.
