A COMPLAINT about a TV advert accused of mocking the Welsh was last night itself attacked for suffering from a “sense of humour bypass”.
Politicians also claimed the complaint about the light-hearted Barclaycard advert, which was rejected by the Advertising Standards Authority, could lead to genuine grievances not being taken seriously in future.
In the advert, comedy series Green Wing actors Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt discover a rich uncle named Tony is in fact an internet fraudster operating under the name Hans Schmidt. It leads Mangan to declare, “He’s Welsh.”
