Advert 1: Tango - Orangeman

Controversial whacky advert for Tango, which was withdrawn and replaced with a tamer version featuring a kiss instead of the slap, following fears that the advert was sparking copycat behaviour in school playgrounds.

The remake of the orange fatman ad was really naff. The original is an all-time marketing classic, IMHO! :)
