To quote Dan Bowden from Facebook
Try blanking this out... The channel 7 censorship of the cigarette sponsorship on the iconic race cars this weekend is upsetting and totally absurd, especially on all the historic racing footage. Note it is NOT a legal requirement for them to block the cars livery out, the laws are about the cigarette companies currently advertising and people getting money from them, which is not happening! There is no legal precedent for them to be doing this, and it is not needed with significant historical icons like these Bathurst race cars. Its a tragic way to be representing our motorsport history this 50th year on the mountain.
If you agree with us on this, please share this uncensored image of the Brock/ Richards 1979 Bathurst winner proudly and let them know your thoughts. We certainly are.. I concur fully |

Lovin the old b&w footage they showed this morning....
Including close ups of spectators casually enjoying a ciggie!! & the voice over announcing the 'Gallagher 500' with images of the Gallagher GT Falcon promo cars!! Maybe the photo shop geeks at chan 7 are too young to realise it was a ciggie brand!! |

My friends father was a heavy smoker and came down with circulation problems in his legs because of it, gangrene set in and after amputating his toes they then wanted to amputate his legs, my friends mother wouldn't allow it because she new he wouldn't want to live like that.........sadly he passed away not long after, now my friends mother is lonely and suffering depression, all because of smoking, he could have lived years longer. News came to me the other day of an old workmate that is now beginning to go through the same thing.........another smoker. |

Can't work out if I'm more okay with the blurring or the use of the words "Bathurst 82, Bathurst 83 or Bathurst 84' over the top of Malboro when they had all of Brock's winning cars out there as a memorial shortly after he died

After watching the utes race, and seeing one of them also with the same livery as the T8 car, except the bonnet was the correct version. Whats the difference?

There is benificial things to prevent smoking (education about their effects would be the biggest), but blurring out images wont do a thing, and you're delusional if you think that. |

Meanwhile, we have Hungry Jacks, Monster and Rockstar being advertised, while it is openly recognised that we have problems in our society with obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
Oooops, better not give Roxon more ideas! |

next minute theyll get rid of Castrol sponsorship in the 100th Bathurst Anniversary highlights to stop people from being addicted to sniffing oil.

A responsible thing would be to not start smoking in the first place. |

For one thing it seems odd to me you can show people on TV fornicating or getting violently murdered or swearing like a drunken sailor, or all of the usual blood and gore on the news, but you show the words "Marlboro" and it's the most godawful horrific thing ever seen. It seems the use of censorship is not proportionate. Has the ban on ciggie advertising really made a difference? I'm not so sure. |

I'm sure it's a matter of time before the greenies in Australia seize on it. I understand the concerns about the effects of smoking. I've seen more than a few people die painful deaths because of it. I'm not sure what we do about it as a society, as you look at alcohol and all of the health and crime effects from that, as well as illegal drugs, and people just keep at it, legal or not, advertised or not. |

Well thats another thing i dont agree with, tax payers having to pay for that sort of thing. You should have to foot your own bill if its proven that your bad habits were the cause of your ill health

I don't believe you could sit on your hands and do nothing while watching someone suffer from a smoking related illness knowing that their addiction started at a time when they were nothing more than an impressionable teenager.

I dont smoke or drink, despite all the advertising in motorracing for these products over the years (cigarettes, at the time i was an impressionable teeneager) People who cant make a decision for themselves, deserve everything they get! Live with the consequences of your actions! |
