Scott Rhodie – “the majority of people complaining are christians and religious people”…
I am not religious, I am an atheist. I disagree with an advertisment in the public domain for a site which says “have an affair” The reason I do not agree with it is because our society (although certainly becoming less religious) is built on good morals and values and encouraging people to cheat is not a very nice message to broadcast to the masses, which is what was being done.
I disagree with tobacco advertising and advertising fast food to kids, because this too does not do society any favours.
Hey ,if married folk want to find people on dating sites to have a fling with, it IS up to them, however when the message is as blatant as “have an affair” I disagree that it should be broadcast to all and sundry on TV.
Tim … did you REALLY wonder-out-loud as to whether Jetstars’ iPad service would “take off”? Gold.
Matt Newton. Thanks dad.
