Distasteful Advertising

<p>The TV adverti*****t featuring the two children throwing a massive temper tantrum in a toystore refers.</p> <p>Not only is there unspoken support for the children's ill-mannered behaviour in poor taste, but the assertion that a DSTV subsription is more important to the wellbeing of a family than doing something like teaching social s****s untactful. It's bad enough that people are becoming more self-centred and poorly behaved, but the use of this as an advertising tactic is simply atrocious.</p>

Thank you, I will await to hear the outcome of this matter. I'm not sure though, why Hello Peter is censoring pieces of words that are not offensive or crude.

This review was placed a week ago. I was informed shortly afterwards that DSTV would investigate the problem. I am still waiting to hear of any outcomes.
