NBC complaint: Content of TV ad during evening program
Filed 11 Jul 2020 by MichaelS
Dear MSNBC,
During the evening of Friday, July 10, I was stunned by a commercial on learning German (I forgot who the advertiser was).
What shocked me was that the commercial included a black-and-white WWII movie clip showing what appeared to be Nazis in military uniforms. The clip itself was extremely short, akin to the subliminal bursts included in some commercials of the 50’s and 60’s – a practice that was ruled unethical and is no longer permitted.
I found the above so disturbing that I couldn’t recall who the advertiser was, and it took me a while to try to process what I had just watched…
Your comments would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Michael Seleanu
