Choose a recent case where a specific advert has received a complaint then answer the following

 Who is the case about? McDonalds  Who / how many complaints were received? 255 People  Which section of the code of practice has been breached (according to the complaint)? Inappropriate and insensitive.  Was the complaint upheld or not? No because after the complaints McDonalds made the decision to withdraw the ad so no further investigation was needed.  Why? What feedback did the ASA provide? "We carefully assessed the complaints to establish whether there were grounds to launch an investigation. However, McDonald’s took a prompt decision to withdraw the ad in response to consumer feedback and on that basis we decided an investigation was not needed."  Find the actual advert. Do you agree with the ASA’s decision? I agree with the decision of the ASA.
