It's odd that they'd make a reference like that in an ad that they showed during the early evenings. I'd have assumed someone would have complained. They banned a Marmite ad that was a spoof of The Blob because it scared children, and plenty of people wanted the Ainsley Harriot ad where he kisses his stove to be banned because they thought people would kiss hot stoves and hurt themselves. They banned an ad...I think this was an ad for cars...because a woman fired a pistol at the end of it. She fired it into the air, though...like a starting pistol at a race. I mean, come on...if ads like that can elicit such a strong response, I'd think an ad containing a reference to testicle-sucking would be yanked off the air pretty damn sharpish.
