Stripper mom needs chicken cessation gum

Nandos This Australian commercial (possibly not safe for work) for Nando’s restaurants may win awards for most convoluted premise. The plot goes something like this: Mom can’t stop thinking about Nando’s chicken, so she resorts to using some special Nando’s craving-control products—first the Nando-fix patch, but that’s awkward, because she’s a stripper, and the patch goes on your backside, which is distracting for customers who are trying to enjoy your butt-wagging, so she goes with the Nando-fix gum, which allows her to make tons of money stripping and control her cravings until she can enjoy a nice dinner at Nando’s with her wholesome family. See some print work from Nando’s here, which is just as classy. Via AdPulp.

The ad has provoked many complaints to the Australian advertising standards bureau who have merely noted its M rating. A Nandos Boycott site has been set up by unhappy viewers.

well, I do not Australia, for it is the only striptease in everyday you see advertisements with naked women and men, and it is much stronger than this sexy video, for example. we had advertising beer with a naked woman, there were some women who complained in order to make just one with a naked man
