ASA
The ASA is the UK's independent regulator of advertising across all media, now including marketing on websites. They work to ensure ads are legal, decent, honest and truthful by applying the Advertising Codes.
The strength of the self-regulatory system lies in both the independence of the ASA and the support and commitment of the advertising industry, through the Committee of Advertising Practise (CAP), to maintaining the high standards laid down in the Advertising Codes, which are designed to protect consumers and create a level playing field for advertisers.
They deal with most types of ads but not all, here are a few:
The BBFC - The British Board of Classification deals with allowing films to be certain age certificates due to violence, sex, language and drugs with in DVD's, Video's, Video Games under the Video Recording Act 2010.
The BBFC ( British Board of Classification ) was established in 1912.

Some TV programmes are certificated before being put on for the public such as Doctor Who. Doctor Who is also on DVD and it has to be certificated by the BBFC as there is mild violence and language.
Dear Ofcom,
I am writing to complain about the recent episode of Coronation Street were Owen hits Faye. I find this offencive material as there was a law put down in 2005 were parents were not aloud to hit someone Else's child unless it does not leave a mark. This could have happened off screen for the audience to believe that he had hit her. I know for abuse to happen the time must be passed 9pm. This is also known as watershed and in USA it is known as adult time were scenes can be uncensored where you can show sexual and physical abuse. The government complain about cutting down on abuse but then you go and show this when children will be watching T.V.
yours Sincerly,
Dan
In early episodes of Coronation Street there are not many races. The most common race was white people compared to today where we have a multicultural society in England.

Representation
The definition of representation is:
This character from Coronation street is an over-the-top "camp" character. You can tell this by his stereotypical feminine voice and the way he walks. Furthermore the way he dresses very smart and other times were he wears the most bizarre costumes.
This is a bad representation on homosexuals because he would make people that watch Coronation Street believe that all homosexuals are like this. When statistically you can only tell 1 out of 10 men that are homosexual, you can tell are homosexual.
One thing about camp characters especially male people avoid them or give them dirty looks as people can not understand why they would date the sex.
