Ad watchdog nixed anti-abortion flyer, climate-change billboards http://huff.to/1TROS5r

TORONTO — Canada's advertising watchdog says it upheld 242 complaints against 50 ads last year.

The biggest number of complaints, by far, was levelled at a political flyer by the Canadian Centre for Bio-ethical Reform that featured images of aborted fetuses and the slogan "No2Trudeau."

There were 105 complaints against the flyer, and Advertising Standards Canada agreed it was excessively shocking and upsetting.

The ASC also received and upheld 96 complaints against two billboards in the Montreal area posted by Friends of Science Society.

One of the billboards said "The Sun is The Main Driver of Climate Change. Not You. Not CO2" and the other said "Global Warming Stopped Naturally 16-Plus Years Ago." The ad council found they omitted relevant information.

"omitted relevant information"?
WTF??...That's what advertising does!!!

Al Gore can't show the movie "an inCONvenient Truth" In Britain as a documentary because it is basically been shown to be completely unfactual.
He has since made Billions from trading the successor to the petrod dollar: The Carbon credit.
But hey Miss Blood and Gore: if thats the cause of the global cooling MEASUREMENTS show we actually have, then hell, you go Gurl!

Gee I didn't see anywhere that people were forced to look at the billboards that offend them so much. Don't citiots have anything better to do with their time than bitch about what someone else is doing or not doing?

Yeah, what ever happened to "pluck out thine I if it offends thee"?
I mean it's not like they don't all ready have a one sided view point

As far as i can tell the ASC is an 'industry' sponsored watchdog without legal authority. They are simply lobbying organizations intended to keep government regulation at bay by claiming they are 'self policing'.

They tend to be promoters of 'standards' defined by the community at large and political conventions as they define them, and thus become archdefenders of political correctness.

They really don't care about some bogus pseudo science like AGW.. or the murder of children.. they just don't want to stir up the political waters.
