Sunburned

Australian television decided that a sun-tanned surfer selling brightly colored condoms was too much, so they banned the Four Seasons Condoms ad almost as soon as it aired. Too crude. Too forward. The regulatory board indexed it, which in Australia apparently means that’s it—no TV ever again.

The thing about banning something is it usually just makes people want to find it. And the condoms themselves are still sitting in every pharmacy across the country anyway. The censors get their symbolic victory, the ad gets thrust into infamy, and the sunburned guy becomes the thing Australian television was too nervous to let you see.
