Speaking as an American, I find MG's situation completely revolting.
Ted should probably dress up as an indian and throw tea in the harbour.
The situation he describes *is* censorship -- of the most egregious
type. If you're going to give some board say over advertising, they
should be required to approve the ads before they go on the air, not
have the power to come in afterwards and censor them. If they indeed
banned the ads after a single complaint, that seems truly excessive.
