Aussies ban 'overly sexualised' Fiat ad (VIDEO)
The Australian Advertising Standards Bureau has banned a Fiat ad for being "overly sexualised."
The ban has, of course, led to the ad being posted on the web 1000 times.
Make that 1001:
Chrysler Australia, which owns Fiat, responded to the Advertising Standards Bureau by saying that the ad does portray women in a positive light by “cleverly drawing a parallel between a beautiful woman and a car that people find appealing”.

Ha ha , those poor complainers. I doubt any guy with red blood in his veins would be offended!
Those Aussies must surely be retards.
Well, the country is run by a chick. What do you expect?
Great advert.
It was absolutely right, the ad be banned. Needs no imagination, what the milk froth on the woman's chest was meant to represent. Vulgar.
Yeah, you go girl! You must be a girl...
But if it had been a Holden advert it would be OK. It's a pity GM can't design beautiful cars, even if there are some gorgeous Aussie women.
'Chrysler Australia owns Fiat' - Right...
