Do you think it's right that the TV networks won't air the GetUp ad which
satirizes Woolies for its ownership of poker machines? Have your say on the
Forum.

With the questionable content (possible trademark copyright infringement) and the fact that the networks are a business that depend upon ads for revenue, it would seem to be within their rights to not run the ads.

If there any good they can put them on youtube and the like and they'll go viral and people will get the message.

It may be that, in this case, the TV networks are doing Getup a favour. That ad just doesn't work for me.

Those TV stations are private entities, and shouldn't be forced to broadcast things from other private entities such as Getup. Kookaburra is correct about Youtube - the days of monopoly voices in media is long gone and anyone can have a youtube channel, website or personal blog to get their point of view across.

Well it is right for the t.v. networks not to air this kind of ads.

I agree and support TV networks for won't air GetUp ad satirizing Woolies' pokies.
