Bill: No Inappropriate Advertisements Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Totalitarian Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2116
Description[?]:
| Presently, anything is allowed in advertisements. An excellent example of the way this law can be abused can be seen here: http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=19986. We feel the citizen's of our nation should not be subjected to such filth. With this in mind, we propose the following regulations: * Any advertisement containing material inappropriate for young people (nudity, sex, excessive swearing) may only appear where there is a greatly reduced chance of a minor viewing it. * Advertisements may not depict graphic violence or injury unless there is just cause. * Advertisements must not deceive consumers. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy on advertising

Proposed: Only advertising that meets certain set standards is permitted.

| Message | I do not see how this is abuse. This is a legitamite advertisment showing your parties ideals. |

| Message | It may be considered offensive by some people. We feel these images should only be shown where they have a reduced chance of being seen by someone who may not like them. The Totalitarian Party ads show we believe in freedom of sexual preference, but the images are not quite appropriate for display in a busy city mall. |

| Message | If it is offensive to them, do not look. It is not worth restricting the rights of the people because a majority or a minority find it offensive. |

| Message | How about this advertisement? (Note: Violates my second suggested regulation.) http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/8550/tpadcampaign030ur.png What effect do you think that will have on people who inadvertently glance at it? Those that find it offensive may become ill or faint at the sight of it. I could use the goatse image, and have "The other parties are arseholes" above it. Do you want that all over Gaduridos? We must regulate advertisements. |

There shall be only one class of mail delivery, and ALL mail shall travel at the SAME speed for EVERYBODY. There can be no class discrimination in the People's Post Office! There must be the SAME class of mail service FOR ALL! ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
