Ryanair adverts ridiculing Saddam ‘not offensive’

ADVERTS ridiculing Saddam Hussein and his regime are not offensive, the British advertising watchdog ruled yesterday.

The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) rejected complaints that three Ryanair posters in the national press trivialised the war on Iraq.

The first showed a picture of Saddam Hussein inside a black circle with a line running diagonally across it.
