Nip/Tuck advert gets the cut after complaints

AN advert that recommended plastic surgery as a cure for depression has been withdrawn after complaints from mental health groups.

Sky One's billboard campaign for its Nip/Tuck drama series showed a young woman dressed in a red top with the wording: "Sometimes a boob job is the best cure for depression."

Sky claimed the ad was intended to be ironic, but Aware, the support organisation for those with depression, described it as "irresponsible and offensive".
