I honestly believe that big campaigns should be voted on by the product teams before its approved for distribution. If the product teams doesn't like it, then it shouldn't be released. In other words, the dinosaurs probably would have never seen the light of day. There are a fair number of "racier" ads that are generated for other markets, but the US market is always bland. Why the difference? Society standards and fear of rebuttal. Apparently here in the US, we're much stodgier than everyone else.
