Another Superbowl naturally means another set of complaints to America's media regulator, the Federal Communications Commission.
MediaWeek reports that the FCC has received "at least" 14 complaints about adverts that aired during the programme, which aired last Sunday on Fox.
According to the trade mag, the FCC has reported that it received: eight complaints about the Go Daddy ad that was a spoof of a Congressional hearing on broadcast censorship in which a young lady appeared to be having severe problems with keeping her clothes on; five complaints for erectile dysfunction medication ads; and even one complaint about an ad in which Queer Eye's Carson ogled a man walking down the street.
Ironically, the Go Daddy ad was pulled by Fox and the NFL after its first airing - a scheduled second airing was yanked off air after the NFL became "upset" at its content, according to Go Daddy creator Bob Parsons. You read that correctly: the ad about broadcast censorship was apparently... censored. More here.
