Saying you flat-out cannot advertise Product X is censorship. Saying that a particular advertisement for Product X is 'needlessly offending people, please post a different advertisement' - is just following public wishes.
What is fine for 4chan, isn't going to sit well with Grandma. Match your message to your audience, when you're in advertising and entertainment.
A news article showing the aftermath of an Iraqi chemical warfare strike on a Kurdish village, though offensive and upsetting, is appropriate to public discourse.
Using those same images to sell.. dunno.. homeowners insurance or Dr. Scholl's anti-itch powder.. that would be tasteless, and should probably be pulled from public viewing.

That was Germany. You aren't allowed to show humans getting killed in German video games, so they made everyone robots.Jenspm wrote:

Which is actually more relate able to the average German.

Neighbors, no one loves you like he loves you,
And no one cares like he cares.
Neighbors, let us join today in the holy love of God and money,
Because neighbors, no one loves you like He loves you.
And what better way to show your love than to dig deep into your pockets.
Dig real deep, until it hurts. Alleviate your guilt,
Free yourself once again, because he gave to you, brothers and sisters.
Please give a 10, 25, or 50 dollar tax-deductible donation,
And I assure you your modest pledge will be used to censor TV and radio,
Ban questionable books, and contribute to many other Godly services.
No longer will young Christian Americans hedonistically indulge
In masochistic submission to rhythmic music, for with your monetary support,
There is no end to what we can achieve in this country.
The voice of God is government. The voice of God is government.
The voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent!
(1,2,3,4)
Can't you see what we believe in, all our thoughts, all our reasons,
Pursuit of life and liberty and happiness we cannot see?
Speak of truth with a mighty voice, but politics are your real choice.
Hire men to change the law, protect and serve with one small flaw.
Voice of God is government. The voice of God is government.
Voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent!
If we shun God and Jesus Christ, religious love is sacrifice.
Love for God is shown in cash, the love they send is mailbox trash.
With every pamphlet we receive, more money asked for Godly needs.
Build a million dollar church, with money spent on God's research.
Voice of God is government. The voice of God is government.
Voice of God is government. In God we trust, sinners repent!
On late night TV, God can heal, a certain force you cannot feel.
Love for money in God's name, religion's now a TV game!
Build a million dollar church, with money spent on God's research.

Twist this a tad and it is my ground zero terror mosque argument.Uzique wrote:
freedom of the press? erm, what?
it's a BUSINESS trying to sell ICE-CREAM by making a side-crack at PERSONAL RELIGIOUS BELIEF
it evokes images of toothpaste in the 1920's with black people/white people because of racial connotations
YOU CAN'T ADVERTISE A PRODUCT IN A 'FREE COUNTRY' THAT OFFENDS A MINORITY/MAJORITY GROUP OF THAT COUNTRY
it's that simple. it has nothing to do with free speech or 'freedom of the press'. you americans are too eager to jump on any other country and are so ridiculously eager to portray everywhere else as 'Big Brother' socialist states that take the choice away from the individual and his/her freedom. it has nothing to do with that rhetorical, high-minded bullshit; it's a simple case of "get a new fucking advertising agency because this idea sucked and we're removing it".

Apparently, Denmark and Thailand have a blacklist in addition to Australia.
Want to know something funny? A few months ago the Playboy Portugal magazine published a cover and a spread with these photos:
http://img444.imageshack.us/i/playboyje … go01g.jpg/
http://img829.imageshack.us/i/playboypo … sus02.jpg/
http://img824.imageshack.us/i/playboypo … sus01.jpg/
The national Catholic Church didn't care, the Catholics here didn't give a damn and the only criticism was about how the photos were really trashy looking.
The only one protesting about it was the Playboy Enterprise so they shut down the Portuguese edition for good.
It's not about joking around with religion that's alowed...but mix sex and religion and Anglos loose their common sense.
On a side note is amusing to see Mr.T trying to prove he's not anti-american just an overall grouch

Anything intelligent I had to say, I've already said.
