/// The proposal "calls on the EU and its member states to take concrete action on discrimination against women in advertising ///
To take concrete action on discrimination against 'WOMEN' in advertising????
Perhaps some concrete action should be taken on 'discrimination against men' in advertising, taking into consideration the way men are much belittled in TV advertising?

/// but you have had things all your own way for so long, wouldn't you agree.///
Any examples of discrimination against women in TV advertising, it has only been in place since 1955?
The only one from around that time that in today's world could be described as anything like discrimination against women, and that was the Fairy Liquid advert, but then in those far off days we all knew it was the woman's job to wash the dishes. :0)

i am too much of a lady to say what i really think, but quite honestly discrimination against women exists, it did in my mothers time and her mothers, in all ways imaginable, some got round it, other through it, but no one has to put up with it, not any more. Whether it's a so called harmless advert, or indeed the more insidious, it's a woman's job, to wash, cook, clean, never mind she has a PHD in astrophysics, or runs the local minicab company. still got to be the little home maker, well news flash, an advert that depicts a bloke washing up, or doing the washing can only be a good thing...
"This is an absolute disgrace, in my opinion...." said Christian Engstrom, a Pirate Party MEP.
Seriously?
That was the best quote the Telegraph could rustle up?
An outraged member of the Pirate Party?
Presumably the Monster Raving Loonies said 'No comment'
Oh well by the time the Expressed has rehashed the story the EU will be calling for the enforced sterillisation of all women
The Pirate Party believes that people with an access to free communication, culture and knowledge grow, feel better and create a more fun and humane society for everyone to live in. We see the modern information technology opening up possibilities for people to take action for their own lives and participate in affecting the development of society. We see how a freer flow of information enable thoughts, cultural creation and economy to grow. - I admit I was a bit taken aback by the name of the party...but what they believe in seems sensible. I might even vote for them if there was one in UK..hmm....
While it's important to note that it's nowhere near becoming law, the ambition of the resolution is somewhat laughable - the idea that the EU, or anyone, has the power to ban pornography is breathtakingly ignorant.
But it does raise the question of the mentality held by those who have proposed it... Kartika Liotard clearly has no problem with the idea that this is something the Union ought to intervene in, and has the power and mandate to do so. It's a good reason to be more concerned about the people who end up in the European Parliament - neglecting it gives control freaks like Liotard more opportunity to make ludicrous proposals like this.
