Banned digital ad for Bloody Mary



LONDON (Reuters) – An advert featuring a moving image of Tudor Queen Mary I turning into a flesh-eating zombie has been banned after complaints that it scared children.

The digital image of 'Bloody Mary', the Roman Catholic daughter of King Henry VIII, who burned over 300 heretics at the stake during her reign, appeared on the side of subway escalators to promote a London Dungeon exhibition.


Holy crap! They put that thing in the subway??

Wow. That is totally inappropriate and I can't believe they put that in the subway. If I saw that as a child, it would have been a long ride in uncomfortably wet pants.
I loved the London Dungeon, though. I saw a segment about it on the Tom Snyder show, Late Night, when I was young. I made a point of going to see it, and it was amazing. I still remember some of the exhibits. Bet I could still find it, too.

Tom Snyder rocked. I miss him. Did you see his interview with Grace Slick? So good. It's on You Tube now.

Freaky. That was in the underground? Gezz night time running into that. Would be a shocker. Reminds me of the books pride and prej zombies.

I loved Tom Snyder. He was such a handsome, nice guy. Totally my favorite night time show.
I'm not sure I saw the interview with Grace Slick, but I saw lots of his shows. I saw one of his shows with the Intellivision video game console. He was fascinated, because it was one of the first to have a "voice". I bought one of those and it was so cool! I gave it to a nursing home years later to sell for some kind of fund, and I was so sorry I got rid of it. Eventually I got a disc of old intellivision games to play on the playstation, and I bought an application for space invaders to play on the iphone, but I wish I had the original. He had the coolest stuff, and people on his show. I miss him.

Does anybody remember Tom Snyder's interview of Charles Manson. WOW He was some kind of creepy. I was amazed at the great job they did mimicking him in the TV movie Helter Skelter.

And who can forget him interviewing John Lennon!

Meh. Nothin' my idiot religious freak father wouldn't have shown me when I was in second grade. I can see how kids who haven't been brought up that way would be scared, though.
