MTV Adverts Banned By US Government

The following three adverts were apparently banned by the US government after a single screening. I am not sure how true this is but these ads are brilliant and effective nonetheless:Text next to the towers: “2.863 people died”Text next to the guy: “40 milllion of HIV infected in the world.”“The world united against terrorism. It should also be united against AIDS”.Next to the towers: “2.863 people died”Next to the kid:: “824 million people starving in the world”.“The world united against terrorism. It should also be united against HUNGER.”Next to the towers: “2.863 people died”Next to the old man: “630 million of homeless people in the world”.“The world united against terrorism. It should also be united against POVERTY”.
