Kenya condom advert pulled after religious complaints


---
A TV advertisement promoting condom use in Kenya has been withdrawn after an outcry by religious leaders, health official Peter Cherutich has said.
Christian and Muslim clerics said the advert encouraged infidelity, rather than safe sex to curb HIV/Aids.
In the government-sponsored advert, a woman in an extra-marital affair is advised to use condoms.
Dr Cherutich told the BBC the advert had been launched because up to 30% of married couples had other partners.

The advertisement depicts this nation as Sodom and Gomorra”
Around 1.6 million people out of Kenya's population of 41.6 million are living with HIV, according to the UN.
The Kenyan Anglican Church's Bishop Julius Kalu said the advert, shown on free-to-air TV stations at peak audience times, had promoted extra-marital affairs and sex among school pupils, Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper reports.
"There are better ways of passing useful information to society. This one has certainly failed," he is quoted as saying.
"It openly propagates immorality, especially when all family members are gathered before television sets, waiting to watch news," Bishop Kalu said

plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content
I've either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being stolen? I'd really appreciate it.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so
she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed
and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Howdy! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I
needed to ask. Does running a well-established website like yours take a lot of work?
I'm completely new to blogging however I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to
start a blog so I will be able to share my
experience and feelings online. Please let me
know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.

Appreciate it!

I tend not to drop a great deal of remarks, but i
did some searching and wound up here "Kenya condom advert pulled after religious complaints".
And I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it appear like some of the responses come across like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to
post. Would you list of every one of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
