TV Dinners
I was editing a story this evening about 110 new laws the Chinese government has instituted that will take effect on New Year's Day. Among them is one that states that during "'peak dinner time' the public will not see any TV advertisements of 'offensive' products like sanitary napkins and hemorrhoid medicines. Many viewers object to the broadcasts while they are trying to eat."
I can sympathize. Those Kotex ads really make me want to hurl when I'm sitting down to enjoy a steaming plate heaped with savory goose guts, tripe, chicken feet, pig snouts and Spot.
