    Thanks for the clarification.

    That wasn't directed to you, Dirac. You're still wrong.

    Is that your current excuse for stupidity. If your handlers give you something to post at least read (listen) to it first. They make lots of mistakes.

    Would you explain how I am wrong? I sure didn't confuse the UK with Iceland.

    Do you really think that because the video contains text indicating that it was banned in Iceland means it can't possibly also be banned elsewhere, you buffoon? You're welcome for the explanation btw.

    Trying to explain something simple to a simpleton such as you is vexing, Socrates.

    yes it could have been banned anywhere, BUT IT WASNT. Specifically it was Iceland, so quit making shit up to justify your screw up.

    I don't think the ad accomplishes it's mission. If you are trying to raise awareness to the negative effects of deforestation and tie that to the endangered lives of Orangutans and present it in a an anime that is going to attract mostly 9 year olds, you loose the gist with too much going on.

    For me, it just misses it's point. Pictures say a lot more than words, and if you want to get peoples true emotions fired up, show them what the stripped landscapes look like after deforestation, and the piles of orangutan corpses filled with maggots left behind! It gets them every time.

    You're missing the point as well, they were making an ad and not trying to be overtly political but it was judged that anyway. Yes, I'm sure an advert on Xmas day with screenfuls of rotting corpses would go down swimmingly with the kiddy winks!!

    Sir, I didn't miss the point. But, as I said, many will miss the point- because, in my opinion the point gets misdirected as a disguised cartoon for children.

    Who the fuck watches animates- I certainly don't- do you?

    I see that shit on TV, and I'm off to another channel, or off to gap my spark plugs or something more rewarding!
