Summary

The Advertising Standards Authority in Britain dismissed complaints about an ad featuring a woman's breasts with the slogan "Discover Weapons of Mass Distraction" to promote a low-cost airline. The ad was deemed "light-hearted and humorous" despite receiving 186 complaints about degrading women and trivializing the Iraq war.
