Father’s Day ad ..removed from Australian TV for being ‘political’ because no gay dads were featured
BizPac Review ^ | 09/04/2017 | Tom Tillison

Is it bad timing or a politically incorrect viewpoint?

A Father’s Day ad in Australia featuring a traditional family structure was not aired because it was seen as political intervention in the same-sex marriage debate.

The ad, titled “Our Children Our Future,” begins with a father singing a lullaby to his newborn child, which included egregious lyrics like “your mommy and daddy are a perfect team.”

The ad, set to run in the lead-up to a nationwide postal vote on same-sex marriage, is sponsored by Dads4Kids, a Christian organization that has run such ads for 15 years — Father’s Days is on Sept. 3 in Australia.

The pickle sniffers at Free TV Australia are confusing Father’s Day with Sex Pervert Day.

But you can’t just stop at “gay” dads. Nowadays we have to be all inclusive of the “LGBT” peoples, including the “T”, the “transsexual” or “transgendered” people.

So we need to have “transgendered” dads, if we want to be truly inclusive.

Did any of you ever think, you would live in a world in which it is hateful or controversial, to talk of marriage as a man and a woman, and it be considered discriminatory to have ads or depictions of family life, which exclude homosexual parents???

So apparently this dad is singing “hate speech” to his baby, by singing that mom and dad are a team. Holy Toledo.

Sometimes I’m happy to be getting older, as I will be long gone from this earth by the time this horse blank train we are on reaches its final destination.

I’m surprised they didn’t complain because the ad didn’t have a muslim and a sheep.

how is there a debate when only an artificial social construct of parenting is presented?

why does heterosexual parenting need to take a back seat to homosexual parenting?

if heterosexual parenting is so personally offensive to homosexuals, how can homosexuals be relied upon to raise a child who choses heterosexuality over homosexuality without bias?

Answer: the goal was not "marriage equality" at all. They want to present homosexual "marriage" as SUPERIOR and blot out natural, male/female marriage. They hate it. It is everything God ordained and designed and everything they can never, ever be. They know this. They hate this.

They are, in the end, all about hate.

Every time these deranged leftists open their mouths I become more suspicious that anal conception might be a reality. It would sure go a long way toward explaining why most Democrats are such sh*tty excuses for human beings.

Only if Genesis 19 was occurring live in real-time....and we were in a nearby city. The Last Days seem to be accelerating.



Luke 17:32 King James Version

32 Remember Lot's wife.

Matthew 7:6 King James Version

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

No, it’s real.

It’s because we are the middle of a postal plebiscite on same sex marriage - we get to vote on whether the government legalises it or not. That’s a political campaign, so any advertisement that may influence the vote way or the other has to carry an authorisation naming a specific person as authorising the ad.

The television networks believes the Australian Electoral Commission would regard this as political enough to require that authorisation. They are probably correct.

The people who put the ad together say they can’t afford to re-edit it with an authorisation message.

[[Free TV Australia, the industry group that represents commercial free-to-air networks, would not broadcast the ad because it “likely contained political matter,”]]

[[Technically, Free TV didn’t ban the ad, pointing to the Broadcasting Services Act, the industry group asked Dads4Kids to include a tag to “identify the body responsible for the commercial, including the speakers in the commercial.”]]

They didn’t outright ban it but they DID target this group and used a clause to cause the ad to be taken off the air when the group couldn’t pay for a recut- I wonder if Free TV makes ALL ads identify who’s responsible for ads- or just this Christian group?

Time for conservative, sane Australians to kick the reds and pinks and PC schmucks out of office from the top to the Outback. Enough is enough.

If Australia caves into the Left, again, they are through because Red China will be on them like white on rice, and nobody will have the guts to resist them.

Brown rice tastes like crap. Dry, bitter. White gluttonous rice, Riviana River, Louisiana, is the best. butter, gravy, sauces, etc. stick to it when you eat it so you get all the flavors at once.

Also, the Rice balls I ate in So. Vietnam (with coconut in them) were gluttonous and delicious. Shared them with members of the 7th ARVN Division on the Ham Luong River in the Delta.
