The Local - Sweden mulls ban on sexist ads
Topic: Society 11:30 am EST, Jan 21, 2008

Sweden, considered a world leader in gender equality, should ban all advertising that could be considered sexist, according to a government-commissioned report published on Tuesday.

* Swedish advertisers drawn online (20 Jan 08)
* Internet wins advertising battle (28 Nov 07)
* Internet advertising now bigger than TV (7 Nov 07)

In the report, special government rapporteur Eva-Maria Svensson suggested the creation of a law "banning advertising containing sexist content."

Right, because everybody knows repression=equality. If you can't create a world that doesnt think about sex, you can hide it with censorship.
