THE NEW TELEVISION ad for Club Orange has been ruffling feathers for its depiction of scantily-clad women squeezing their, er, bits.
The ad is not scheduled to be aired until later in the summer but already the campaign has been attracting attention on Facebook and on Youtube. The Irish website for Club products, club.ie, is undergoing entire redesign to feature the ‘Best Bits’ campaign in pride of place.
