Overall: I did an extensive copyedit of the article to remove duplicate information, merge sections into the history subheading and removing WP:PROMO text. The C of E please doublecheck the article to ensure the new text accurately reflects the sources. I didn't approve the hook because the text is convaluted. I have proposed ALTs below.

• ALT1:... that 2 Cheap Cars withdrew a TV ad in New Zealand because children were copying the main character's catchphrase, "Ah so", which the children sometimes pronounced as "asshole"?
• ALT2:... that 2 Cheap Cars withdrew a TV ad in New Zealand because children were copying the main character's catchphrase and mispronouncing it as "asshole"?
• ALT3:... that 2 Cheap Cars withdrew a TV ad in New Zealand because children were mispronouncing the main character's catchphrase as "asshole"?

Let me know which you prefer, or if you have another ALT suggestion. Z1720 (talk) 00:59, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

• • @Z1720: Thank you for reviewing. ALT1 is my preference there because it contains all the information in the original so I would be happy to go with that. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 04:48, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Apporved all hooks, with a preference for ALT1. Unfortunately, I requested a revdel of plagiarised material that was added into the article in 2019. Promoters, please ensure that the revdel is resolved before promoting. Thanks! Revdel is complete. Z1720 (talk) 21:52, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
