Clay ad character ‘flashes his willy’ in U.K.
A claymation character from the British TV series Camberwick Green has viewers “choking on their breakfasts,” according to the Mirror, by flashing his clay privates in the TV commercial above, for Quaker Oats’ Oatso Simple oatmeal. Good luck spotting the infraction—although the Mirror does have an incriminating screen grab. “There’s definitely an extra piece of Plasticine in his nether regions,” says one viewer. So far, there have been no official complaints.
