 A
37 second Internet video campaign is said to be shocking and crude,
cut together to showcase the most violent and sex-charged scenes of
the new TV series Underbelly: A Tale Of Two Cities.
The clip has already sparked outrage from Christian Democratic
Party leader Reverend Fred Nile, who labelled the video
pornographic
and will concern family groups. I think it’s disgusting and
shocking.
Even for a viral campaign there are standards and this would come
into the category of pornography. The worst part about it is that
it’s making the criminals heroes when that’s a black page on the
history of Sydney. There is nothing proud about it.
Reverend Nile said the Christian Democratic Party would hold protests,
the same held when the original Underbelly screened early
last year and call for advertisers to boycott the program, when the
show premieres on Channel 9 in February.
