Article

A TV ad for the “world’s slimmest phone” has been banned for objec­ti­fy­ing women.

The Adver­tis­ing Stan­dards Author­i­ty took the action after rul­ing that the advert for a Kazam mobile phone con­tained “sex­u­al­ly sug­ges­tive” scenes and was “like­ly to cause seri­ous offence to some view­ers”.

The TV cam­paign opened with the shot of the back of a woman walk­ing around a house in her under­wear.
