No Condom Ads During Dinner Thank You
<snip>

HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam has banned television and radio from airing advertisements for condoms, sanitary pads and other products at dinner time.

Advertisements for such products are "unaesthetic and unsuitable to Vietnamese psychology and traditional customs," said a statement issued this week by the Ministry of Culture and Information, which is in charge of censorship.

The ban, effective immediately, also covers advertisements for toilet paper and drugs to treat skin diseases.

There was no word why the ban was to be in operation only from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., but that is peak viewing time and also the time most people in the country eat dinner.
