Today there are a lot of offensive advertising around, not only on television but also on billboards and on the radio. The Advertising Standards Bureau has released a list of its most complained ads on record.

The ad that received the most complaints is: Nando's TV commercial. The ad features a woman pole- dancing in a club before sitting down eating Nando's with her family.

The third advertisement is from the Advanced Medical Institute billboard. It has the words "Want longer lasting sex?" on it.

The fourth ad is an Advanced Medical Institute TV ad. I features a woman trying to reach for a cookie jar, but she cannot reach. She call her husband and appears to stand on his erect penis to reach.

The final ad is also an Advanced Medical Institute billboard advertisement. The advertisement features two men hugging and words saying "Rip & Roll" with a picture of a condom on it.

These are the five advertisements that received the most complaints in Australia. The only real concern is about children viewing these advertisements. These advertisements were meant to be watched by adults, but children can also see it.
