I found this today and thought I'd post and comment as I am a customer of crazydomains . 40 people complained and this ad was banned from free to air TV in Australia.............if 60 had rung in maybe Gavin, the CEO @crazydomains would be in jail. Have we gone mad?

I'm not going to introduce or try and justify this list..It just is! We look better in black than any other age group. We don't have to wear letterbox framed glasses if they look silly. Our Levis weren't faded and torn when we bought them. We can afford to touch park. We have our very own "back in the day" We really do know what we're talking about. We once walked in to a store and paid cash
