    Exclamation "Piranha 3DD" ad - Not suitable for pre-watershed?



    Not sure if you guys can do anything about this ad showing up before the watershed but surely I can't be the only one who doesn't find it appropriate for this ad to be shown on a family friendly site in the middle of the afternoon. What makes it even worse is that this showed up while I was flicking through channels and I turned over to BBC1 while childrens CBBC programming was being shown. Now I can't imagine kids are a large percentage of your userbase, but honestly if I saw my kids watching a large chested woman bouncing around the screen while trying to watch CBBC I'd start asking some questions.

    Thank you and we take this very seriously and somehow it has slipped through our screening and I will get this taken off right away.

    I don't think we show adverts on the kids channels? (I must learn to read... )Edit: But good point about switching over to BBC1, as above advert will be looked at by admins.

    I haven't checked the kids specific channels, but it was being shown on BBC1 during the CBBC time slot (3:30 - 5:15)

    We are trying to rearrange it so in future it comes on after the watershed - thanks again for reporting this.
