Looks at ads that have been deemed offensive by the public and why – could be useful for social values, as well as media influence on children, and representations of women/sex etc in the media.
Today Tonight: “Music video damage”

* Broadcast Date: January 08, 2009
I missed the broadcast of this but the article gives a pretty good rundown of what would have aired. Really useful for media influence, but also links to representation and social values.
