I have no idea why this says it was banned; I can't find proof of that. The video itself is remarkable.

1. Powerful, powerful ad. It should not be banned.........

It might start to change minds.

2. Maybe it would do some good here in the states.

3. We used to see ads like this here...

I have to wonder why it was banned.

[Warpy]

12. Those fingers.

Don't show those nasty fingers! Think of the CHILDREN!

I'd like to ban all the Miss Prunellas out there, both sexes.

4. Who banned it? Why? Is there a lobby...

down under for the bottomfish contingent of the population?

[Moostache]

9. Not enough guns...

The NRA saw that you could feasibly make an ad that would shock people and change behaviors WITHOUT arming everyone to the teeth...they do not couch such discussions lightly.

5. Why was this banned?

Maybe the "mirror" was to clean and clear for some to handle.

6. WOW!

Children DO see - this ad needs to be UN banned.

[ljm2002]

7. Wow.

That was... powerful.

8. Banned? It should be required viewing!

But isn't it nice that in today's world, banning anything is nearly impossible because it will only wind up on the internet anyway and might even go viral.

10. I really doubt that it wasd "banned"

Sound like a title just trying to drive viewership.
I don't see anything distasteful or controversial.
Even among the crazies who play songs backwards to find demonic meaning you're not going to find many who object.

I would guess at worse it just wasn't given wide distribution.

nice ad though

11. You may be right. Now I wish I would have linked to another upload of the same video...lol

I tried to find proof of it being banned (not that that was my focus in posting it), to no avail.

Here's another YouTube link of the same:

18. It's "the finger" I bet.

That would be blurred out if it was broadcast here.

[calimary]

13. SHIT! "Powerful" isn't a sufficiently powerful word to use.

One of the best ads I've EVER seen.

Should play EVERYWHERE. Particularly HERE in the U.S.

[OneGrassRoot]

14. Agreed. :) n/t

[SunSeeker]

15. Should be required viewing for all parents. nt

[TheMadMonk]

16. One word: "Truth!". I don't think it was banned, so much as was given...

...a poor reception.

[tblue]

17. George Zimmerman should watch it.

He's nobody's role model. Did his patents teach him to hate like that and blame the victim?

Anyway. Sorry. That's a great ad. It says so much. I think everyone should see it. It's a public service.
