1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Now my favorite ad is the Turner's ad, but it

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: turns out that the advertising standards authority doesn't love it

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: quite as much sollas your Honda under I mean, I

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: am planes absolutely to niggle them, aren't I? Yes, I am.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Someone's complained that the ad is a disgrace to Kiwis

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: for showing illegal activity, swearing and offending obese people, but

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: the and the ASA have agreed with that, actually, because

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: it's not socially responsible to show a car doing a burnout.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Todd Hunter is the chief executive of Turners, a Todd

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: hey head. It's a bit silly, isn't it.

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: It's got storm and the teacup vibes about it. I think, yeah,

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: doesn't it.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: Now, what do you have to do? Do you have to

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: change this? Do you have to take the burnout out

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: in order to be able to keep continue playing the ad?

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: Well, the TV versions of the ad have the burnout

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: cut out of it already, So this is just the

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: YouTube version of our ad that has the one second

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: clip of the of the burnout.

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Why did you did you anticipate it was going to

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: be a problem? You left it out of the TV ads?

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: No? I think there's actually a process that you go

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: through to have the ad cleared before it goes on

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: broadcast TV and TV on demand, and the recommendation there

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: was to take the burnout out, and so we did. Well,

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: I think they might have actually asked us to take

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: it out, but we didn't take it out in the

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: YouTube version because we thought it was kind of some

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 2: fun and kind of part of how we originally created

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: the ad. So yeah, the one second, the one second

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: of the car actually burning out has clearly created this

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: problem and this one complaint. I mean, I actually think

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: the person who complained I owe them a great deal

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: of thanks for keeping Tina from Turner's continually in the media.

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say this, right, because while

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: it's created extra work for you and basically you've wasted

37
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: your money on the burnout, it is giving you so

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: much free publicity that you can hardly be cross about this.

39
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: That's right. And if you read through the comments on

40
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: the Herald article, clearly people are overwhelmingly and support of

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: the ad and support of what we're doing. So yeah,

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: it's all fine.

43
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, good on. Yeah, listen, Todd, thank you very much,

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Todd Hunter, Turner's chief executive. We were going

45
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: to speak to Bodo. What happened Laura to Todd call

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: in to Todd hear us talking. Yeah, Todd heard we're

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: going to talk to Bodo Lang, the marketing guy, and

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: then Todd heard us talking about it, and Todd called

49
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: up and was like, now, don't talk to don't talk

50
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: to Bodo. I'll talk about my ad. And then on

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: he came because I'm a fan of Todd's and Todd's

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: is a fan of mine. Well, it's a fan of

53
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Laura's work actually, because she puts the phone to get

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: the show together. So we'll give her the credit for

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: that one. For more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive, listen
