Default Gritish Bas & Electrical Safety

Anyone else seen the Gritish Bas advert with the poncy ecobollox title "Look
After Your World with British Gas"?

http://www.visit4info.com/advert/Loo...tish-Gas/69319

"A whimsical animation shows individual little green planets floating in
space with a house on each, as the narrator advises that British Gas is
doing its bit by building the world's largest wind farm, which is
illustrated by a British Gas van towing a blue planet festooned with wind
turbines. He continues that this helps provide us with renewable and
affordable energy, as the gas man leaps onto one of the green planets and
plugs his blue planet in."

Point is, the Gritish Bas bloke uses a presumably 'live' 13 amp plugtop to
connect into a socket outlet - clearly a very dangerous thing to do.
Imagine if a small child on one of those little green planets unplugged it &
touched the live pin?

I may grass them up to the ASA if I get bored/annoyed enough.
