I can remember having ads banned or pulled simply because their either showed murder, made fun of Catholic confession or featured women with exceedingly large boobs (Auckland Opera - Rigoletto, Tip Top Ice Cream - Crofters cheesecake minis, Kent Heating - woodburning stoves).
Seems like now we can do and say what we like. At least on the Internet.
On the web we 'pull' information towards us - rather than having it shoved in our faces while our seven year old daughter asks us what the prurient gag in this weeks trailer for 'Two and a half men' means.
And that's a good thing. I'm still trying to preserve what's left of my own innocence without having to worry about allowing my kids to remain kids for as long as I can.
