A spoof advert shown during BBC's Top Gear has been ruled to have breached guidelines.
It depicted a man committing suicide, prompting 50 complaints.
50? A whole 50! It must have been truly shocking. I would have thought by now that people who won't like Top Gear would know they don't like Top Gear.

That episode is old...how come this has come out now? And there was nothing disturbing about it...James May can't do anything disturbing.

It seems like theres a general complaints problem with BBC programs recently, either that or the media a reporting them more. It's a shame as it may stiffle program makers on the BBC and stop it being cutting edge.
