Solidarity's rejected DStv advert - here it is

[Kevin Lancaster]

The advertisement DStv rejected

Trade union Solidarity has released the advertisement which was not allowed to be aired on DStv’s Kyknet

 

[MickeyD]

Reason for rejection?

Probably as there are only white faces in the advert....

 

[FNfal]

DSTV must carry on alienating people .
What goes around comes around .

White man holding a pick-axe and the reference to 'lid' being too close to the english word for penis?

 

[Obieone]

Can't see the clip at work, what's it about?

I thought the English word for penis was penis

Solidarity as a union.
Nothing more than that.
But the ad only has white ppl in so it must be racist.

'my member was standing at attention'

 

[Drifter]

Only whites in the ad, all I can think.

How to save money on exposure:

1) Create ad
2) Submit to broadcaster
3) Broadcaster denies ad
4) Use uproar to promote same ad on free platform ( youtube)
5) News websites pick up ad and broadcast.
6) Profit.

Looks like that's the reason...

But... that last guy had painted his face black

 

[blunt]

My afrikaans is not so lekker.

What was the ad talking about?

 

[Musicmp3]

Wonder what the ratio of whites customers are in DSTV? I suspect in the majority.

Take that away and DSTV is no more!

 

[Drifter]

But... that last guy had painted his face black

Thats it then. Like those two sudents who got in the pooh for painting their faces brown.

 

[Jola]

Definitely censorship by DSTV !

There is nothing wrong with this ad.

 

[LCBXX]

Perhaps because Solodariteit associates itself with those loons in Afriforum and their leader talks like an Apartheid-Era Dutch-Reformed Dominee.

But that has got nothing to do with the ad.
