Australia's Channel 9 Won't Run Anti TPP AD

[tay]

We just received word that Channel 9 has banned our new TV ad from airing during the evening news — and they refuse to say why.

The ad simply shows, in irreverent fashion, what the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement will mean for Australian families. The Abbott government is trying to keep this deal secret from Australians, and now Channel 9 is joining in.

But we won’t give up. We’re scrambling right now for ad spots during the news on other networks, before next Saturday’s critical Canning by-election (Channel 10 says they’ll air it!).

Pffffffb. I still use Windex.

Well, if I were an Aussie and interested in this bit, I'd be investigating further. Ads make me suspicious to begin with and so do corporations.
I use ammonia and a couple drops of dish soap. It's waaaay cheaper than Windex.

Why haven't you incorporated?

 

[AnnaG]

Did, but I meant I am suspicious of large corps and multinational corps. But I think you already knew what I meant.
Why are you nitpicking?

 

[petros]

I guess you are evil then. Welcome to the Illuminati.

I guess you are evil then. Welcome to the Illuminati.

Thanks. When are the dues due?
Sorry, dude, but I am not large nor multinational, so I am a good corp. =)

You didn't sacrifice the goat yet?

 

[AnnaG]

Better run to the neighbour's and borrow a goat, I guess.
