Britney-style ad banned

OK, it's a bit gratuitous and hardly the most sophisticated advertisement I've ever seen, but did it have to be banned?

The Ryanair ad which showed a Britney Spears-style model posing in a classroom has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority who say it is "irresponsible".

As it happens, I don't think Ryanair will be too bothered. The company can save money by pulling the ad - and in return they gets lots of free publicity. Job done.
