Video: Naked Ham Man In Banned British Commercial
I knew it was going to be a good day when I woke up this morning, turned on the computer to browse the news on CNN.com, and came across a hot naked man singing to a ham sandwich.
Admittedly, such imagery isn't to everyone's taste (seriously? But there's cured meat!). But that's not why Britain's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned this witty commercial for Richmond Ham. It got, uh, canned, for a failure to uphold truthful standards in advertising, by declaring itself "Britain's only natural ham made with 100% natural ingredients." The ham is actually made in Ireland.
