And Then A Ban...

I see on the news today that this advert has been banned owing to the number of complaints received stating it depicts cruelty to cats. Spookily, it doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, I always seem to miss the bit when the cat’s actually kicked.

         

Going on the above, and ‘all’ the complaints received relating to something only your mind can perceive, it becomes obvious why the old footy one below never made it to our living rooms even though it’s obvious from the footage that no damage was caused to the bus-stop shelter and the lady sitting therein sustains no discernible injuries...

I'm not surprised the second one never made it to our screens. He could never kick it that far without a run-up.

A. K. Haart,
I assume from that, and in keeping with modern times, you’ve concluded that it’s a fake kick and thus I accept that I’d be wasting my time expressing outrage on FacePalm.
