Fiat has always pushed the boundaries with its advertising. A quick search on google for banned Fiat ads will show you numerous results. In the latest ad for the Abarth Cabrio, model Catrinel Menghia is shown with a scorpion crawling over her body whilst laying on the beach. Whilst a Abarth 500 is seen tearing up the roads near the beach.
Should this ad have been banned? Is it any different to the Antz Pantz ad from the late eighties early nineties featuring model Toneya Bird, an Echidna and the now famous line sic ‘em Rex!
