Anti-terrorist hotline ad banned for being 'offensive'
You're probably expecting me to rant about how there was no need to ban this ad but in actual fact I'm glad that it has been banned.

Pretty ridiculous ad if you ask me. |

Yeah, that is indeed ridiculous. The behaviors they list are so vague that I'm sure they'd get flooded with reports on innocent people, which would simultaneously put the innocent people through unnecessary stress and distract the police from the real terrorists. I'm sure if anyone notices someone smuggling weapons they'll report it anyway, with or without the advertisement.
Edit: Or rather, thinking back on some disturbing cases where people stood by and watched, I should have said that the ad would not affect whether people would report it. Last edited by Ward Dragon; 11-08-10 at 00:47. |

I thought it would take longer than this for people to start bringing in the 1984 references. Come on, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Ahead? They're already telling you to spy on your neighbors and report them if you can't see what they're doing every minute of the day. Where else is this going?
