Bee sting advert banned
A BARCLAYS commercial showing a man suffering a bee sting reaction was banned by telly watchdogs yesterday.
Nearly 300 people complained to the Advertising Standards Authority about the bank ad.
It showed the victim fall into a lake then get arrested by cops.
But the ASA ruled it was offensive to allergy sufferers.
Barclays apologised, saying the ad was meant to be light hearted.
