Oh and BTW since when does the U.S. Government ban ads, besides those with sex, nudity, cigarettes, or people drinking alcohol. On what grounds, by what law, and who's authority was this ad banned if it, infact, actually was? (assuming it is a real ad which I also doubt)

This is a Joe Job. Stop and think before you believe anything. Ultimately someone at MTV would have 1) thought up the idea 2) gotten it submitted and accepted 3) actually sat down and made it. In all those three steps it would have had to pass through real people like the ones on this board. The likelihood of MTV ever making such a blatant error is minimal to non-existant.
Joe Jobbing (that is spam or harmful content send to a second party in the name of a third party, where the third party is intended to recieve the full blame) is getting more abundant these days. Expect to see thousands of "secretly leaked" repulsive ads and similar in the next year or so. [ 09-17-2005, 05:57 AM: Message edited by: mad=dog ]

Since this is generating quite some controversy I can send the powerpoint presentation I had received this in (I know it is too big for a tv ad, but consider that I had to take screenshots of a powerpoint presentation and then put them on the web, so this isn't real size) to anyone interested. I don't know whether it is true or not, what I was told was that the ad aired only once.
However a google search for "banned mtv ad" (link) shows a surprising number of results also. I don't have time to go indepth into these to try and find whether it is true or not right now, but might do so later. EDIT: I have edited the first post to show links and not the pictures as krunchyfrogg had asked. EDIT 2: Also as krunchyfrogg asked, I have forwarded him the email.

Anyway my point was the U.S. Government bans very few things from broadcast, even using the term 'ban' loosely- a trend I'd like to see continue.

Well, I find it interesting that not one of those ads made me want to help the poor, AIDS-afflicted, or homeless. The whole thing strikes me as one big advertising campaign for social Darwinism.
