  ASA demands retraction of Reebok ad with 50 Cent - pressetext.deutschland
The TV ad features hip hop, gangster-style rapper 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, in a dark room with a voice saying that 50 Cent was "gunned down" and "taken to Jamaica hospital".
Although the ad was only meant to be shown after 9pm, ASA maintained that the advert had "potential to encourage or condone violence, particularly among vulnerable or younger viewers".
In the light of the infamous drive-by shooting in which the rapper was shot nine times and survived, the ASA said the ad suggested that 50 Cent's lifestyle was aspirational, and that it implied surviving nine gun wounds was possible.

 Reebok 50 Cent ad banned after complaints - UK News Headlines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
And their complaints were upheld by the Advertising Standards Authority which slammed Reebok, claiming the adverts appeared to condone 50 Cent's "violent lifestyle" and "disregarded the unsavoury and perilous aspects" of it.
In one of the ads a gunshot is heard and 50 Cent counts slowly up to nine - the number of times he was shot in New York.
The spokesman added: "We further considered the subject matter of the advertisements to be inappropriate in view of the recent high profile of specific gun-related crime in various areas of Britain as highlighted by the complainants.

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | 50 Cent ad 'glamorised' gun crime
The ad for his film soundtrack sparked 17 complaints from people saying it was irresponsible or offensive.
The watchdog noted the link between the image and film plot but added: "We considered, however, that Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson had such cultural credibility, especially among young people, that his association with gang culture and criminal behaviour was likely to be seen as glamorising and condoning the possession and use of guns."
The ITV advert replaced the letter "o" with a graphic of a round, red lollipop, but the watchdog ruled that children would be unlikely to understand the reference to Kojak's habit of sucking lollipops.

 BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Ban for 'gun glamour' Reebok ad
A Reebok TV ad should be banned because of its violent content, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ruled.
The ad showed rapper 50 Cent counting the nine times he had been shot, then laughing as a voice asked who he planned to "massacre" next.
Mrs Cope, whose son, Damian, was shot dead outside a nightclub in Holborn, north London, in 2002 aged 22, said she welcomed the ASA decision.

In fact, 50 Cent went one better and sneered that protests of the movie’s ad campaign “help me.” The sarcastic and sardonic quip says it all.
Then, there’s the question of the self-destructive violence of some young Black males such as 50 Cent, which is reflexively explained by pointing a finger at the tumultuous and self-indulgent world of rap music.
In Los Angeles, some took to the streets to demand that Paramount pull ad billboards that showed 50 Cent holding a gun extended in one hand and a microphone in the other.

 Reebok tones down ad - Business - International Herald Tribune
The hip-hop star 50 Cent was set to star in a new television commercial for Reebok International starting on Tuesday that contains a tamer story line than a previous ad widely criticized as glorifying violence.
That's a far cry from the rapper's last Reebok TV ad, which the sneaker company pulled off the air in Britain after it was criticized.
While that ad was about 50 Cent telling his story and embracing the individuality that is a component of Reebok's "I am what I am" marketing campaign, the new ad focuses on a specific product, a $90 cross-training shoe called the GXT II.

In the advertisement, it shows 50 Cent counting the number of times he was shot.
According to Advertising Standards Authority spokeswoman Donna Mitchell, over 50 viewers complained that the commercial "glamorizes and perhaps glorifies gun culture." The ad, which is part of Reebok's "I Am What I Am" campaign, features 50 Cent counting to nine in reference to the number of times he's been shot.
Reebok's spokeswoman said the ad was intented to be a positive celebration of the "right of freedom of self-expression, individuality, and authenticity." Yeah right, and the fact that he's hot and popular had nothing to do with it.

But the point of the ad was the fact that Poochigian opposed law enforcement and remained the lap dog of the NRA as a Member of the Legislature.
Another report we’ve seen says that the problem Republicans have with the ad is not that Poochigian didn’t want to be shown with a connection to the NRA– it’s that Brown supposedly used a real officer in the ad.
The officer is credited as a police captain, but the ad doesn’t let on to his district– that’s why the ad is supposedly “unethical” but still legal.

Well we knew it was difficult to work on a media plan with a hangover following a late night, crunk-filled drinking binge but we didn't know it was costing advertisers $50 billion.
That $50 billion figure represent 18.8 percent of the total $266 billion U.S. ad spend as estimated by Universal McCann.
The ARF says the two biggest causes of wasted media spend are ads carrying the "wrong" message and buys being made with "wrong" timing.

 Mark Was Probably Written around AD 50
Furthermore, Shemaryahu Talmon, one of the Jewish members of the editorial board of the Qumran scrolls also supports this identification.[8] All of this means that we do indeed possess independent evidence that corroborates a pre-60s date for the synoptic Gospels as indicated by my earlier analysis of Acts.
This is significant as it clearly shows the belief in Jesus' resurrection cannot date after A.D. 60-65 and thus dates to a time when most of Jesus' contemporaries were still alive.
As the Dead Sea finds were buried during 68 AD as the Romans occupied the area in the Jewish War, it is clear that the fragments are from before this time.
