BBC drops 'horrific' bouncing head

The BBC dropped a 'bouncing head' trailer for digital television after it was described as horrific by viewers and prompted 1,300 complaints. It featured a dismembered animated head, made up of hundreds of tiny heads, bouncing over hills. The head transformed into the face of well-known BBC presenters. One viewer said: "As a registered psychotherapist, I wish to protest that this image is disturbingly psychotic." The BBC said that it had not been its intention to offend.
