German Boss Radio Ad Banned
A radio advert's been ruled 'offensive' following complaints that it suggests all Germans are Hitler-style megalomaniacs.

The advert for recruitment agency Reed Online features a man yelling at one of his employees in German - then asks: 'Boss a bit of a tyrant?'
The Advertising Standards Authority banned the ad after it received 13 complaints; some claiming it reinforced an out-of-date stereotype.
