You see the new trident soft adverts where they put on Jamican accents and shout "Mastication for the nation" well they have been banned for being too sterotypical.

What do you think of this?

I think the adverts are shite, but it really shouldn't be banned, thats just plain silly. They should ban them for being crap rather than stereotypical.
