Default ARIA Subliminal Ads

Hi,

Was shocked when I first saw this story on media watch. It goes to show how bad things are really getting in Australia. It seems nobody is policing the media, whatsoever.

P.S Alex, how do I link the youtube footage?

I saw that segment on Media Watch. They ought to be held to account. What is needed is for someone to make a formal complaint to the appropriate governing authority. I think the FG7 and Axiom tag team would be an appropriate combination!

Exactly my thoughts too.

Incidentally, did anyone record Newstopia last night? Shaun Micallef had interspersed some humourous not-quite-subliminal images into the broadcast. I did get a very, very brief glimpse of Peter Garrett, but it was too quick for me to catch the other images ... I'd be interested to know what they were ...

Too easy mate.

Just type:

[youtube]

and then put GXcSWTb9zz8 in the middle (because that's what appears after the = sign.

And then close the tag with

[/youtube

Its just like using bolding tags, italic tags, underline tags, etc.

As for the substance of the editorial, I do hope Ten gets fined big time for this behaviour.
