Methinks some karmic justice is being meted out to CBS/Viacom for their censorship of PETA's and MoveOn's ads - FZ

Editors Note: One of the reasons Viacom (CBS) executives gave for rejecting the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal's commercial was that it was too sexually explicit. After watching what they did approve and the half time show, I am wondering what was in that ad. As for the MoveOn ad, many political issues were raised for all who watched CBS's three hour, highly politicized, corporate orgy. -smg

CBS chose to air a spot advertising the upcoming horror movie "Van Helsing" even though it contained extremely disturbing and graphic images of brutality and gore and despite the fact that it has yet to be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America. If the film were eventually to be rated NC-17, it would be contrary to network policy to carry any commercials for it... Based on excerpts shown, "Van Helsing" will earn an R, or Restricted, rating, meaning the film is considered suitable for those under 17 only if they are accompanied by a parent or other adult. The ad was wall-to-wall with monsters baring fangs and implied horrific violence.
