I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

      Yes, alcoholism isn’t real and if it were we shouldn’t make it easier for people who try to quit.

        Nobody said that. Also shouldn’t it be up to the recovering alcoholic to not watch tv shows that often depict heavy drinking if that bothers them? Nobody is forcing alcoholics to watch The Simpsons.

          As I understand it the ban in France seems to specifically target real brands. So you can still show people drinking but you’re not allowed to show the logo of e.g. Heineken.

          Is this a good regulation? I don’t know, but it might not be as arbitrary as the other comment suggested.

          Nobody forced anyone to make a real beer brand called Duff. Liberal BS takes like yours are just so shortsighted. Might as well let kids buy cigs, their choice after all, isn’t?
