In November ’09, Aids activist group Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) launched a campaign to remove an ad on ETV by the Christ Embassy church. In the ad the church claims they cure Aids. This week, finally, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) managed to force ETV to pull the ad. A little too late as it turns out.
Two things are of concern here: a) Did ETV take so long to pull the ad because they agree with the church’s methods? And b) do they wish to send condolences to the family of a woman who died of TB after she stopped taking her medication because she believed the church cured her?
Of gravest concern though is the fact that the death merchant church is still broadcasting their ridiculous message online.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
