Of course prime time TV is the best place for it - why the feck do they think it's called that? Do they think the people of Kenya haven't seen stronger stuff than that in real life? :lol:

And they've probably given it more attention than it ever would have gotten!

If course, any publicist will tell you that any publicity is good publicity. I expect that those placing the advert knew that there would be complaints. A good agency would have a plan ready for this eventuality.

There are religious extremists there who will say it is a white mans plot to sterilise one group or another. Kenya is a mixed religion nation with lots of Catholics and Muslims, so loads of potential for trouble.

There were people on this forum a couple of years ago who were speculating about bird flu vaccines being created to wipe out half the human race by evil overlords. Absurd paranoid fantasies aren't the sole preserve of the religious.
