New Aus Channel Ad Refers to Crush video-like scenario

[tara34952]

I think it's in poor taste to have the woman crushing the toy lamb with her shoe. I just think it was a poor choice by the people who made the advert.

[xxxBakeneckoxxx]

Horrible.

[SquareWaveHeaven]

In situations like this, I'm usually more concerned by the misogyny that rears it's ugly head than any implications about animal cruelty. It's an actor stepping on a toy.

i work a regional affiliate that broadcast channel ten eleven and one hd we have no power to change the ads but what i can tell you is that unless your from Australia your complaints will be ignored as network ten have told us that have received a number of complaints but none from Australia also can i make tip in not sending it directly to the tv network and instead going to freetv Australia

[yupiUploadeverything]

New Zealand wasn't part of this, "CBS represent the NZ version of show internationally.

We are aware of the sale of this cycle to Australia but this is done independently of Mediaworks (TV3).

Network 10 in Australia have made their own promotional material. Your links above... are examples of that, and it is important to note we have no connection to this, or any of their other material whatsoever" That was said by the NZNTM facebook page people.

trapbehinder: well it appears the majority is against this ad. there is also a petition to remove this ad from tv. you and bobthebrush are the only two who just sluff it off. i have signed the petition along with many others. you two dont get it and never will. this just promotes crush videos. now go and stick your heads in the sand.

[Trapbehinder]

@2oogieboogie

If the majority says something retarded, it's still retarded.

Go ahead and petition. See what good it will do. Other than waste the time of both sides involved. This is just people completely misdirecting their hate towards the torture of animals, and turning it into something petty. It's a disgrace to the animals that have actually been killed, to be put on the same level of importance as a mere toy sheep. It's an ad for Next Top Model, get over yourself.

[2oogieboogie]

@Trapbehinder this ad will be cancelled. that's what petitions are all about - power!! to get what is wrong, corrected. now, pay attention, you are a waste of time and energy. any further static from you shall be ignored.

i rest my case.

[Trapbehinder]

@p0ckystick Pay attention to what the ad is actually saying. Lamb is a rival export, this is simply a metaphor to state that they're better than them.

[myvonne31568]

this is appalling ! I will never watch this show again!

[Trapbehinder]

...is this all sarcasm?

As a person not only with a crush fetish, but against the inhumane torture of animals, this is just an ad. >.>

I highly doubt Next Top Model is directly affiliated with a crush video selling site, or that any of the events that take place in the show have actual crush. In what ways does showing a fake sheep get stepped on promote anything? Is it saying that killing animals is alright? Is it funding anything? Why waste time on this instead of on a real crush video?

[bobthebrush]

@Trapbehinder thank you this is what i been trying to say but now apparently im an activist and im harrassing people??? all i did was leave a comment!! thanks again for stating the obvious which many people commenting on this video are not getting! its a stuffed toy not a real animal!!! if it was then i could understand!

[Trapbehinder]

@bobthebrush Are you asking if I called you an activist harrassing people? Lol, I was talking about them in terms of harrassing a company for something senseless.

[bobthebrush]

@Trapbehinder no sorry i had read it wrong! and even wrote on the wrong comment! (too many beers that evening i think!!) ooops!! i was just saying thanks for seeing my side of the argument 

[trainrgrl1]

You make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a clear reference to animal murder and cruelty otherwise known as "crush vidoes"...what kind of freaks do you have at your show???????? BOYCOTTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vedelia]

Unbelievable! Of course the reference is to crush "videos - the makers of this swill, AND the empty-headed morons taking part, have completely lost the plot!

What a a slap in the face for all those decent people who've been busting a gut to get "crush videos" banned - AND to the innumerable animals who have suffered so horribly in the making of them,. Absolutely obscene!

[pocketocrisps]

How is this supposed to be viewed in a positive light? What was their intention besides to mock the torture of sentient beings?

[MTCatman]

Sick F--ks! Let's get Elephants to step on them and see how they like it! Toy or not, it's a reference to the real thing!

[StarClimber1090]

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE?o.O

[luigifan997]

This is sick & wrong! This is a thinly disguised Animal Crush Video!  There is nothing sexy about it!

[Cali3215]

Your Video Has been Reported !!!! . HR 5566 was signed to law on 11 December 2010. this was to stop crush video from being sold !!!!!!!!!!

[2oogieboogie]

this is offending. i dont care if its a stuffed animal, the message is "it's okay to crush animals". worst ad i have ever seen promoting 'crush videos'.

[bobthebrush]

chill out for fuck sake its a stuffed toy not a real sheep! oh its disgusting they're stamping on a stuffed sheep! fuck me if it was a real live sheep i could understand but its a toy!!!! take a chill pill or something!!!!!!

[2oogieboogie]

@bobthebrush you dont get it do you doughhead? this ad promotes 'crush videos'. now drop the crack pipe, clear your head and get with the program. 

[bobthebrush]

@2oogieboogie doughhead? is that the best you can do? its a fucking toy not a real animal! the ad is saying than nz biggest export is lamb and nz's next top model shits all over it there by stating that the program is better than their biggest export! if you read more in to it you have way too much time on your hands! and as for crack the only crack i want is yours on the end of my foot! now put your dummy back in and be quiet!

[Trapbehinder]

@bobthebrush

Thank you. This is an example of giving a good cause a bad name. When activists start harassing the people least involved in the very thing that they're protesting. It begins to make them look like a bunch of overzealous maniacs, despite having a good cause to get behind.

[2oogieboogie]

@bobthebrush you are a lowlife foulmouthed cretin who just doesn't get it and never will get it.

[Animalib1948]

What is wrong with the producers of this ad doing? Encourage people to kill animals by stomping on them, can they not think before they act. Absolutely, disgusting.

[MiditheVeg]

This is outrageous, what are the producers of this awful ad thinking?

[caninecasbah]

DISGUSTING .... and so sick ... 

[beroniica]

Disgusting and cruel. I HATE this.

You shouldn't have uploaded this, you are only helping to promote it! This is wrong.

[StarClimber1090]

@beroniica no actually it's good its uploaded so people that don't have this channel can see what kind of ads are being shown there,so we all can do something about it!

[beroniica]

@StarClimber1090 I don't think it's necessary to show it :)

We can do something about it by saying, in words, that there is a video promoting Animal Crush, and protest about it. I don't think people need to see it, just comprehend that it exists.

Showing it, is like showing a Crush video, it helps promote it.

[StarClimber1090]

@beroniica not if u write all over it that it's bad!;)

all in all,we know this exist and it's out there,so we need to do something about it!^^

[WriterMitzi]

This is disgusting. This is nothing but a thinly disguised animal crush porn video. The station, the advertisers, and the hooker of a model participating in this should be banned from working in the media.

[VeniasVampire]

@WriterMitzi

100% agree

[VeniasVampire]

This commercial is absolutely fAiL.....

[89dforce]

@WriterMitzi yeah right and now you can go on and crucify whoever stands in your way.
