MĀORI LANGUAGE WEEK'S 'ENGLISH SUCKS' AD RULED OKAYAn advert for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori which featured a man saying "English sucks" didn't breach standards because English doesn't need protection from ridicule, according to a new ruling. The ASA says it received several complaints about the advert.
