TV CAMPAIGN AGAINST POVERTY BANNED IN UK
LONDON, September 15, 2005 – A TV media campaign aid against poverty titled “Make Poverty History” has been banned for airing on radio and TV stations in Great Britain. The TV commercial shows singer Bono Vox, actors Liam Nieson, George Clooney and Hugh Grant, and other celebrities, snapping fingers every three seconds, thus saying that every three seconds a child dies of hunger. Media regulators believe these aids carry a strong political message, prohibiting them as illegal. Adrian Lewit from the campaign “Make Poverty History” says that the aids do not raise political but the biggest ethical issues of our time.
