Advertising: Ryanair exploits London Bombings

Adland reports that a Ryanair ad showing Winston Churchill giving the "victory" sign and the headline "London Fights Back" which first ran a week after the London bombings, sparked 192 complaints to the ASA by the end of the day.

The airline with a well earned reputation for tacky advertising, featured speech bubbles saying, "We shall fly them to the beaches, we shall fly them to the hills, we shall fly them to London!"
