Complaints were received by the Advertising Standards Authority about the Skyn Condoms advertisement, which showed a woman in her underwear talking about how much she loved sex, a report by the authority said.
During the TV movie’s broadcast, an advertisement for Skyn condoms aired that featured a woman in her underwear saying how much she enjoyed sex. The ad attracted immense criticism on TV One’s Facebook page and on Twitter, and complaints were made to the Advertising Standards Authority.
The ad was shown during Consent: The Louise Nicholas Story, which was aired on TV One on Sunday night and told of Ms Nicholas’ fight for justice when she took a police officer and two former police officers to court over allegations of rape.
