Dog Breath Ad



A new advertising clip by Wrigley Chewing Gum got a record number of complaints when it was shown for the first time in British television.

A chewing gum ad showing a dog coming out of a man's mouth has become the most complained about advert ever. Over 550 people have phoned the Independent Television Commission (ITC) because they didn't like it.

It's all done using clever computer technology. But some say it looks so real, it has actually made them puke. A spokesperson for the gum makers, The Wrigley Company, told us: "It is not, nor has it ever been, our intention to upset anyone by our adverts."

The previous record was held by the Levi's dead hamster ad which prompted 544 complaints in 1998. by Ananova
