You are joking! Is that a fact! That's like with the fall of Rome: it’s no longer a case of the barbarians being at the gates, they're over the walls, inside the city and are now running the place!

On an advert featuring the Muslim call to prayer, I think it would cause boycotts and disturbances. It wouldn't happen. Regarding the Lord's Prayer advert, I must confess I've never encountered religious advertising in cinemas so the issue doesn't arise here. I hate cinema ads in any case. I pay to see a movie, not sit through 20 minutes of advertising. In Adelaide cinemas they even advertise the benefits of cinema advertising as part of the advertising (which they call, cutely, the "pre-show"). So we the cinema audience have to sit through an ad inviting advertisers to "be seen on the big screen" and describing us gormless cinema goers as a "captive audience". The nerve of them! To be honest, while I'm not a churchgoer I don’t despise religion like some people do here. But what I do despise is the way advertising trivialises and cheapens. So from that point of view I'm kinda glad, for reasons the cinema chains wouldn't agree with and I don’t care, that they've banned the Lord's Prayer adverts.

I agree with the ban. And I agree about the cinema advertising ads! Annoying! I hate that phrase they use 'Maximum Engagement' (or something like that)...how can there not be with it flashed across the screen in letters three metres high accompanied by the words spoken at 120 decibels!? In Queensland, the main ads seemed to be for seeking foster carers...a worrying trend |
