I wish advertising standards could be applied to religious propaganda.
ok I can kinda relate to this post.
I live in a very multicultural town and very often the billboards here that show women skantily clad, or advertise gambling etc are daubed with paint to hide what some minorities find ‘offensive’ to their culture..
some examples.. Mecca bingo – firebombed coz of its name, wonderbra ad – daubed with paint so you could not see the girl, watch advert daubed with paint coz it showed a womans wrist..
so as for advertising sex… i can imagine it would not go down too well in a sector of the society in my town
God Melody I find that really disturbing that they are applying their own censorship which may offend their religion or beliefs…
Wonders what I would censor…..
Men only clubs ??? Marmite poster ( cos I hate Marmite ? ) ?? Those skinny young models in all the ads ( for obvious reasons ) grrrrrr ???
Lucky we all don’t censor what personally offends us…. :? :? :?

Where do we stand on that then?.. Because i find that, they’re let in, and then their answer is to firebomb a place, because they disagree with it’s name, BUT, at the same time, we have to be fair and try to appreciate their religious rights/views?
