Phones 4 U Scary Mary advert review

Scary Mary advert



 
 
This is the Scary Mary Phones 4 U advertisement, it unusually spreads a controversial message that if  people missed these deals the deals would 'haunt' you. A series of Halloween themed adverts were released for Phones 4 U around Septemeber of 2011, and hundreds of complaints were made, many found it distressing and not appropriate for children. The advert features the ghost of a young girl haunting a woman in the style of an adult horror movie unsuitable for children though shown during the day when children are most likely to be viewing television, in my opinion this advert should have been shown after 9 o'clock when younger viewers would be in bed, it definatley advertises the deals well, but the message should have been portrayed differently.
