FIght Back!

Ultra-conservative group Family First are not my cup of tea. And I'm betting that it's their members ringing and pressuring advertisers to withdraw from advertising a raunchy TV show.

So, now that advertisers are pulling out of spots during TV3 show Californication, NZ should fight back.

So if Burger King, CRC, Finish Dishwashing Liquid, Cadbury, Flight Centre and Ferrit have all withdrawn from advertising during the show then tomorrow we should all:

Have a Big Mac (or a Quarter Pounder, if you prefer).
Lubricate with Castrol.
Wash up with Active Dishwash powder.
Eat a Nestle chocolate bar.
Book a flight with House of Travel.
Buy online at Trade Me.

That would send a message that New Zealanders are not going to be intimidated by a minor fringe group. After all, if you care about Family Values so much that you are likely to be offended:

DON'T WATCH IT AND PRAY FOR OUR SOULS INSTEAD

  • What I wonder Michael is now these patsies have bowed to Family First's entreaties, how much further will FF go? Will they target companies advertising during Outrageous Fortune for instance? Slippery slope and all that.
