Mitsubishi Ad on TV’s dead zone
We wonder why a Mitsubishi ad for its Lancer sedan is only allowed to be shown after 9pm in British TV. 9pm and beyond is almost like a ‘dead zone’ in television. Most people are asleep that time.
The ad, entitled “Birds and Bees,” is about a dad who drove his son with a Lancer sedan while answering his son’s question: “Where did I come from?”
One of the probable reasons why such a restriction was passed on to the ad is because of its theme—how the dad answered. Some people say it’s an old joke so people shouldn’t make a big deal out of it.
