What are the laws of advertising?

Does that Argentine ad break advertising laws in Argentina as Argentina has never owned the Falklands?

  • Argentina must have advertising codes of conduct to stop miss representation, since the Falklands has never been owned by them surely it breaks the code/law in Argentina? http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5iYzJD0tm4B8V559c20z9KQazBUXw?docId=N0084511336091532425A

  • Answer:

    Even if they have -there won’t be any appetite for anyone in Argentina to pursue punishment They are quite happy putting something together which may cause insult to the UK – And using it as an advert for the Olympics is perfect ammo to get under our skin It’s a shame it was too early in the morning for any of the Falkland Islanders to have seen them doing what they did – This kind of beating would have been great air time on You Tube As for “Dr. Snark” reminding us there’s no Empire anymore, like it gets to Modern Brits, what a complete TOOL we know this fact you moron EDIT @ Geoffrey “The only reason anyone owns the Falklands is because Britain took it over, ie, it wasn't Britain's in the first place. So shouldn't this be the actual point argued?” Ok – So the ancient Native Northern Europeans took over the UK, so does this mean it doesn’t actually belong to us now? Based on your sentence, your suggesting every piece of land was “taken over” because we are all from Africa so no one has entitlement to any land – I see where you’re going with this one “And what laws can it possibly break? It is okay for William Hague to slag off the Argentinean government on live TV but its not okay to advertise?” William Hague is an MP and its political point scoring it’s his job – How can you compare the 2?

They can make all the adverts they like; I'm sure the squaddies stationed at Port Stanley could do with the laugh.

ban ALL ARGEY SCUM form the olympics then send a couple of cruise missles at the argey navy and air force

I was suprised they have been allowed to compete in the games. Argentina is a bit like the Trolls we have on here-a childish nuisance. Hope that helped.

I wonder if there's anybody outside of the UK who gives a flying f*ck? The empire is gone, dude. Let it go.
