It seems like our ads for Russia Today (here shown in outdoor/print format) are causing some controversy. Which was ultimately the idea.

Major US airports have refused to display the Obama / Ahmadinejad ad below.

What do you think? With the refusal to publish this content in the US, I am thinking that that the powers that be in the “land of the free” are just patriotic and supportive of their leader and oppose the obvious threat (albeit a threat of an unknown degree), whilst the US still holds a massive nuclear arsenal.

Who really is the greater threat? Lets not forget my new home, which is getting referred to as a ‘Nanny’ state more and more…

N.B.: I am thoroughly enjoying the diversity in press over here. I have Russia Today on TV, in addition to BBC. I think I’ve got CNN, but I’d only watch it if I had no news whatsoever, and unfortunately no Al-Jazeera. Add this to publications such as The Guardian and The Independant, and you wonderful cross-section of left-to-right. Oh and the Sunday Times now features as my weekend “spread the paper across the living room” read. It also means no more Sydney Morning Herald, which is heading downhill rapidly – fast becoming tabloid-trash, as apparentlythis is news.
