TV to ban erotic ads during pope’s visit

Poland’s TVP public broadcaster is to ban television adverts containing erotic and violent scenes during Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the country next month, officials said.

“Programmes of masses will obviously not be accompanied by publicity,” Zbigniew Badziak, the TVP official responsible for publicity, told AFP. “For other programmes linked to the pope’s visit, we will eliminate all advertisements that could hurt religious feelings, particularly those containing violent or erotic scenes.” Badziak also said TVP would avoid transmitting adverts for products such as beer and intimate hygiene items during the pope’s visit.

“It was the same during visits to Poland by Pope John Paul II,” he added. Benedict XVI’s May 25-28 visit is due to take in Warsaw, Krakow, the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, the shrine of the Black Madonna in Czestochowa, and Wadowice, the birthplace of John Paul II. Over 90 percent of Poles profess to be Roman Catholic. -AFP-
