Iggy Pop’s Insurance Commercial

I don’t think they are showing this inthe US since they are a UK insurance company but Iggy Pop has done an advertisement for Swiftcover insurance.  The Advertising Standards Agency has deemed it as “misleading” suggesting the singer had a policy with the company.  The problem was that at the time of they made the video, Swiftcover didn’t offer insurance to musicians.  The ASA said that the video had to be changed before it can be shown again.  Well now the company offers insurance to musicians so I guess that worked out.  Check out the video.
