This advertisement of IRN BRU has been recently cleared by the advertisement watchdogs as the ad was branded offensive by the few government agencies and other authorities. The ad clearance authority tossed out the all-34 complaints into air giving clean receipt to the ad. The ad has shown Glasgow hardman Derek veiling under cuckoo outfit warning a librarian : ‘I’ll shoosh you, ya tweedy auld crow.’
The energy drink ad was recently been aired on TV for the first time this year.
Moreover, the new version of the ad is showing Derek speaking in a posh English accent. In addition, this time he says to the librarian, ‘say, awfully sorry, didn’t mean to cause offence.’
