KAZAM Tornado 348 - Slimmest Phone / Ironing shirt - (2015) :60 (UK)

Camilla Hansson, Sweden's current competitor to Miss Universe, models slimness in this ad, which was just banned by the ASA.
She's the "ambassador" for the Kazam mobile phone brand, which basically means we get to study her perfectly slender physique for 60 seconds to learn that the silly named phone too, is slim. This is of course what got the ad in trouble with the ASA, some of the shots of Camilla biting her lips, and dragging her fingers between her breasts yank us straight out of the "ironing in my underwear" scenario and as the complaints received pointed out are instead "overtly sexual and objectified women" and "bore no relationship to the product". Kazam Online played dumb in a response to the the ASA and insisted that the ad simply depicted a "well-known scenario - that is ironing a shirt in your underwear". It also said that it made sure that the spot was not aired during shows that children may be watching. Clearcast had noted the scenes were "slightly sexual", but decided they were not "gratuitous or likely to cause offence" and allowed the ad on air in December & January.
After receiving complaints the ASA considered that the ad was entirely about the woman in her underwear not the mobile phone and that scenes such as her running her finger over her cleavage were "sexually suggestive". They added: "Additionally, this was heightened by the suggestive nature of the music and voice-over and further reinforced because the focus on the woman bore no relevance to the advertised product."

There's actually a good idea here, lost in all the ogling. She irons her shirt and doesn't notice the phone in the pocket. Because it's that slim. 5.15 mm. If you ask me the ad should be also be reprimanded for calling the Kazam at 5.15 mm "The world's slimmest phone" when the oppo r5 is 4.85 mm. /GEEK
