It’s a brilliant marketing step. They knew it would get banned but would only make them look good compared to the regulator, as a result it got way more media coverage than the ad would have got on it’s own, Iceland is going through a real period of change with its new managing director/CEO and this is a manifestion if that.

- KineticLensman 8y agoThere are some really interesting reasons that the BBC have banned records [0], including 'might be offensive to other stutterers', 'might remind listeners of scud missiles', 'broadcasting of an SOS in Morse code', 'too morbid', 'the claim the Second World War began in 1941' and 'nauseating piece of material' [0] https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/46f837da-9ffa-494d-94e7-c7ffb0781bea https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/46f837da-9ffa-494d-94e7...
