PC World has been snubbed by Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for a TV advt that went on.."A huge 40GB hard drive, great for watching DVDs, movies... It's our lowest ever priced laptop. You'll find it hard to beat even on the internet, and I guarantee they won't be in stock for much longer at this price...".

Viewers had issues with th advt with intresting complaints like is a 40GB hard disk not a standard but exceptional for laptops?..what's so huge about it?! Other had complaints that the laptop was not available in the shops while the advt was still playing, so PC world wasted their time!

lol
That is funny. I can't belive they'd advertise false thing. I think they may get into legal trouble if they continue showing that fake advertisement. But anyway, I've seen commercials/advertisements like that that say false stuff. But later on the producers figure it out and fix it so it's right.
