814270 2009-09-27 03:42:00 I don't have a drinking problem, Is it because I don't watch TV? Metla (12)
814271 2009-09-27 03:57:00 Because our politicians have no balls/brains ? decibel (11645)
814272 2009-09-27 04:12:00 Just because the frogs cant hold their piss shouldn't impinge on my ability to watch alcohol ads prefect (6291)
814273 2009-09-27 04:58:00 I don't recall many ads that I drink the beers.

Steinlager classic is about the only one. Otherwise, do Tuatara, Wigram Brewery, or the Pink Elephant Brewery advertise?

814274 2009-09-27 05:11:00 Well why not ban motor vehicles? People are killed in them every day so they must be BAD.

Whoops forgot that it isn't the vehicle that's bad, but rather the people that don't maintain them or drive them in a manner that leads to collisions with objects.

Alcohol is fine in moderation.

814276 2009-09-27 05:42:00 Norway is the ultimate nanny state.
They also have one piss factor we dont have here and thats the long winter nights which could even drive a teetotaller to drink.

814277 2009-09-27 05:52:00 I don't see a reason for banning them, or banning cigarette ads for that matter.

If people stupid enough to be turned into alcoholics because of them it's their problem. It would be better to ban the likes of the Green Party for advertising and advocating the personal growth and use of marijuana. Surely?

I wanted them to bad that hubba-hubba ad... It seemed odd... No Rubba No Hubba Hubba. :p

814278 2009-09-27 06:12:00 I suspect that the FTA TV networks get a fair bit of revenue from these ads. Banning them would generate even less revenue and we would get even more repeats and reality crap and nil sport..
If you want to ban any ads ban the Gov social engineering ones.
