The BBC report that a complaint against Sony's car stereo ads has been upheld by the ASA.
Apparently, "The complainant objected on the grounds that the advert could encourage drivers to play their music too loud."
Now the advert may encourage antisocial behaviour, but surely it would also be reasonable to say that Sony is an accessory to that behaviour. After all, they manufacture the ridiculous devices. 1000W, even on the fantasy power scales used for these things (30W on a high quality amp is painful: what gives?), can only be used specifically to ensure that you can be heard three blocks away.
