I'm guessing it was linked somewhere as a "LOL banned ad!" clip, which seems to happen to any remotely controversial commercial whether they're actually banned or not.

I can't imagine they tried to ban it here. I've seen way more "controversial" adverts than this regularly.

I've seen that quite a few times, plus the extra cold version where the little thing at the end gets its tongue frozen.

Wow, that' brilliant and proves what I've suspected. It requires at hundreds of millions of years of evolution to evolve a taste for Guinness. :)

Didn't get it banned in the UK because we're not rabid God-botherers here. It's been and gone, and then came back again in the redux for Guiness Extra Cold. Classy ad.

Why would anyone try to ban that? That's exactly how fundies think evolution works.

Lots of Youtube idiots like to label clips as "banned" regardless of whether or not it actually is if it's the slightest bit controversial.

Wow, that advert is brilliant. Finally something has upstaged the Carmina Burana ones (can't remember which beer it was advertising).
