I've Just Seen THE Most Offensive Advert (London Region)

Whilst watching 'The Record of the Year' today, the commercials, around 6pm, showed - what
I can only say is - one of the most outrageous adverts ever, about a mini-cab driver,
convicted for sex abuse, picking up a young woman, ending with a tag-line: get a black cab
or a night bus.

I did not catch all the sponsors, but one of them was from the Mayor Of London.

I find black cabs offensive generally, but to slag off mini-cabs in this way is shameful
and clearly libellous, and now I have more contempt for black cabs than ever before.

I urge all mini cab firms to club together to fight back with an ad of their own.

Actually the tagline does include a helpline for certified minicabs -- but for some
strange reason I did not spot it first time round. :-p
