Thanks Consumer Circle
I had been raising the issue of banning adult ads like of condoms for the last 1.5 years on this platform ever since I first saw them with kids during IPL 2016.
Looks like finally yesterday the government has ordered television channels not to air condom advertisements before 10pm and after 6am, a decision prompted by complaints of explicit content in such ads.
The information and broadcasting ministry said these ads should be slotted for late night to prevent exposing children to “indecent and inappropriate” content.
Thanks so much. Will continue to report if we observe violation. more

Can not the government loose some revenue in some advertisements relating to sex, Excise duty by not allowing wine shops at each junctions etc. The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) is a self-regulatory voluntary organization of the advertising industry in India is simply silent and not working effectively. more

Imaginable, that one does not so easily want to detach themselves from the existing norms of social etiquette. But then, for how long? Change yourselves with the times", said a sage sometimes, somewhere! Bharatvarsha is the home of Kamasutra........the ultimate ethics of love between male and female. And here we, the same Bharatvarshis, find ourselves fighting about whether an Ad on condoms should or should not be openly displayed.........wherever. What hypocrisy, folks! Shake yourselves and wake up to reality! more

Everyone is well aware of the body parts of each one then why we cover ourselves. Let everyone should be naked. If you do not make difference between vulgarity/obscene and naturalistic then you are going to push this society into hell. If one can enjoy the ad of condom/bra/vulgar ad of sanitary napkins/ underwear etc. by sitting in the drawing room with his family, in the name of educated, broadminded and being intellectual then one can imagine the future of young boys of this country. As it is the effect of westernization of our culture that rape cases are increasing in India day by day. more
