It would fall foul of the ASA's code of practice
/is turning into one of those boring old people who complains about ads
(Pachey, Thu 20 Sep 2007, 11:44, archived)

yeah but - all the ASA can do is say
"don't show that shocking advert everyone's talking about again - and, by the way, here's some free press which will make more people want to see it because now it's banned..."

by which time, the advertising agency and clients are probably well on with the next set of adverts.
