About this.
Here's the complaint form. Here's what I wrote to the ASA.
This advertisement is designed to prejudice an impressionable young audience against dispassionate discussion of scientific fact and is therefore inimical to education.
It is gratuitously alarming. It deliberately targets children who are likely to be frightened.
It presents as established fact a distorted view of heavily disputed scientific information.
It amounts to propaganda for a particular political point of view.
Please do not use precisely this form of words or the ASA is likely to discount your complaint (and mine) as part of a co-ordinated write-in campaign - although personally I see nothing wrong with organising against an outrage.
Done my friend. Thanks for the link
