English Censors Ban Singing-Kids Voices from Egg Ad
The nanny state may be creeping forward in the U.S., but it’s positively at full gallop in England. The country’s censors have banned the singing voices of children from an egg ad because eggs… well, because “most children would not be interested in” eating omega-3 eggs.
An egg advert that uses children’s voices has been banned by the advertising watchdog
The move comes just six months after a re-run of the “Go to work on an egg” campaign, fronted by Tony Hancock, was barred from the air waves.
This time, the children’s song, “Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me”, has incurred the wrath of the advertising watchdog.
An egg company planned to use the tune, sung by 10-year-olds, to promote its omega 3 eggs.
More from the Telegraph. As Megnut and anyone else growing up in Massachusetts during the 1980s (including me) knows, brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh.
