18. TEXT FROM THE PREVIOUS AD
Pakistanis love cricket and they love making money. Sometimes they
combine the two with a good old Pakistani Match Fix so that the Black
Caps get to win a game and the Pakistanis get a big cheque from the
TAB
It's a win-win all round and we here at Moa love the business principles
behind it, which is why we're offering a Pakistani Backhander of our own.
So for every 10 cases of Moa ordered, the contact person who does the
ordering, that's you, gets 10 per cent of the match fee - a free case of
Moa beer for themselves that we don't tell anyone about.
Is this ethical? No. Is it Pakistani? Yes!
But best of all no one's going to really care because all of a sudden there
is Moa in the fridge instead of that frizzy lolly water from Otahuhu or East
Tamaki.

elderly parent, cleaning the
house, driving the kids to soccer
practice, cooking meals.

value of the things she does can
be as much as $43, 461 per year,
not including overtime . . .
27. ADVERTISING TO CHILDREN
Two views
Since children are incapable of making decisions by
evaluating the messages addressed to them,
advertisements should not be directed towards them.
There are other self-regulatory mechanisms present in
the society and it is parents’ or guardians’ responsibility
to restrict advertising to children by moderating their
media consumption.
28. CHILDREN’S TELEVISION ADVERTISING
PRACTICE ACT – 1990 (USA)
Not more than 10.5 min/hour of advertisements will
be displayed during children’s weekend television
programming, and 12 min/hour during weekday
programs.
Commercial will be distinct from programs, and
program characters will be barred from promoting
products.
32. SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES
Promotional messages the recipient is not aware of,
such as those played at very low volume or flashed
on a screen for less than a second, or hidden in the
text. Its effectiveness is not supported by scientific
evidence, and its use is considered a deceptive
business practice in some jurisdictions.
