Xbox 360 ad banned in UK

An Xbox 360 ad was banned in UK for glorifying rash driving. The ad shows a driver driving at high speed being chased by cops, and at the end cops hand him the badge as it they were playing tag. Really nice concept in my opinion, but Uk's Advertising standards agency said that the ad breached health,safety and driving rules(LOL, its an ad) and hence could not be telecast.The ad also featured advisories like "Dramatization. Professional stunt. Do not attempt" and "Professional drivers. Maybe if they wrote "No police drivers and/or normal drivers were killed during the production of the ad"

Well if we had anything like advertising standards in India, then i think the Akshay Kumar ad (the one with the incredibly obnoxious music) also ought to be banned as it shows him stealing thums up from a truck , which is illegal plus he is also endangering the truck and traffic by standing in the middle of the road :P. Also he violates major saftey codes by jumping off of top of buildings.
