The bloody Mario/Sonic at the Olympics ads should have been banned.

Using pre-rendered high quality CGI that uncannily matched actual gameplay, interleaved with scenes of players flailing their Wii remotes furiously - it was completely misrepresenting the actual game's visuals.

Pah! grumble!

If we make more than 9 complaints to the ASA do you think they will side with us and repeal the decision?

Nah... we were, however, thinking of randomly selecting an advert (for example something randomly by Nestles) and complaining to the ASA on mass.

But we didn't get round to it.
