Inappropriate Advertising On CBC Television

The Issue

An advertisement has been running regularly on CBC television for some time now.
  
Casino Days, the sponsor of the advertisement, has as its theme various individuals whom, as they state, "play with myself", "I'm playing with myself now," "I still play with myself," to site a few examples.  The theme of the advertisement is not so subtle in its intention to parody people who indulge in the practice of masturbation.

This type of parody of such an inappropriate subject matter lowers the bar for all television advertising broadcast standards.  If allowed to continue, one can only imagine what may follow.


I believe it is imperative to state unequivocally that this type of advertisement is highly inappropriate, not just for prime time television viewing, but for any time slot.  Please sign this petition, asking CBC to remove the advertisement.
