Also in the top ten is a 1995 leaflet issued by the British Safety Council, featuring a picture of the Pope wearing a hard hat with the words: ‘The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt always wear a condom.’

It was intended to raise awareness of National Condom Week and promote safer sex, but the ASA accepted it was offensive to Roman Catholics.

Since then, however, regulators have cleared the way for condoms to be advertised more prominently, and they can now be promoted on television before the 9pm watershed.

In 2010, more than 1,300 complained about a TV commercial for the Paddy Power betting giant.

The footage of a blind football player kicking a cat across a pitch was said to be offensive to blind people and at risk of encouraging animal cruelty.

盲人足球运动员踢猫与呼叫中心人员嘴里塞满东西唱歌被列为过去50年来最受争议的广告。

此外，堕胎诊所、戴着安全帽的教皇与裸体的苏菲•达尔也是观众投诉最多的广告。

英国产业监管机构广告标准局今日发布了广告细节，这些广告因为尺度太大，而且没有对公众投诉做出回应而受到批评。

尽管排行榜中的十大广告受到大量投诉，但还是有五个广告获得了广告标准局的批准。
