World vision advert banned! Can you believe it?
I was horrified to discover how innocuos the advert was, and the reason why it was 'disallowed', so I've copied this from the World Vision website (I hope that's legal, if you all go on their site and watch the advert, maybe they'll forgive me!)
World Vision ad banned
It costs £49 million to sponsor the England football team and only 60p a day to sponsor a child in the developing world - this is the message of a tv ad, deemed "an unfair attack on football" by the Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre, the body responsible for approving television adverts.
The advert follows Masidi in Malawi as he makes a football from maize, plastic bags and string.
Also, check out this really easy and not at all expensive way to fundraise for WV.
