Pizza joint censured for George W Bush ad
NZPA | Friday, 23 February 2007

A complaint about a Hell Pizza billboard featuring a picture of United States President George W Bush has been partly upheld.

But the Advertising Standards Complaints Board did not find the picture or issues raised by the advertisement offensive, it was the term "evil bastards" that earned their censure.

Hell Pizza's advertising agency, Cinderella Ltd, mounted a spirited defence to the complaints board, even drawing on New Zealand author Barry Crump's book Bastards I Have Met.

The billboard that raised the ire of complainants featured a picture of Mr Bush, and the words "Hell. Too Good For Some Evil Bastards".  See top post - won't allow me to quote the pic.
