Was it their annual price increase announcement? Scares me too...

From the complaints, though, it sound a little nanny like tbh.

Shame, poor mommy's babies

One of the worst thing about DStv is their self-promoting ads.

Was my 1st thought as well. :twisted:

Or that the kids realized the amount of repeats.

"passionate kissing" what a prude

Admittedly it's a bit pathetic of the complainants but what's the point of parental control if you're going to promote adult content on kids channels ? Bit pathetic of multichoice to dispute the claim in my opinion. I guess if you've got lawyers you might as well use them.

How i do not like those ads

Bornman was upset by the “gruesome, shocking and frightening pictures” shown in the promotion, which she watched with her children, aged between two and seven.

Does anyone remember the old FPB rating system? You'd have an 18 restricted movie labeled "2-18", implying that is was okay for children aged 2 and younger to be present when the movie was shown.

I am curious to see the advertisement. Hahaha R40 k is peanuts.... I would have fined them RR1 million for pain and suffering. Hahaha

Last night, just after Carte Blanche and before Noah started, they had this really violet trailer for some DSTV Edge series.

I thought that was at least a 16 age restriction and couldn't believe they were showing it.

They did do the age restriction warning before the trailer though.

I suppose you do all of your passionate kissing in front of your children.
