Hagen Jørgensen has asked the politicians to simplify the current law against this so that it cannot be avoided, he also claims that it can be done, as they managed it in Sweden.
There will be appointed a committee to look at the law and come with suggestion to how it can be simplified.

Any chance some1 could correct this english for me? please :)

I don't understand what it's on about :eek7:

Edit- Although I think the last sentence should go "A comitee will be appointed to look at the law and come up with suggestions as to how it can be simplified." or something similiar. I'm confused. :(

hehe i guess :> ull regreat it tho:>
Its a review comming from a article so kinda hard to understand i guess :>

--------------------------------

The article “Commercials on stealthy feet’s” are telling us how we are all targets for hidden advertising, starting from the day that we are lying in our mother’s belly to the day that we die. It is everywhere, even in school and day-care institutions are we seeing products being advertised without knowing it. Hidden advertising is not a new concept, back in the beginning it was about extremely short flashes in movies and television, but soon people got scared and started thinking they where being brainwashed, later on it was proved that the human brain was incapable of noticing such short flashes.
It has been proven that hidden advertising work, why else should BMW spend 20 million just to have James Bond drive in their car? People are tired of the old fashion commercials, most people tend to get tired and hate even the funniest commercials.
Giving away products for free to celebrity’s are not unusual, Gucci gave away watches so newsreaders in TV would wear them while thousands of people were watching them.
Magazines have long product reviews telling us how good that one product is compared to others, while in truth, they where paid to write it. The problem is that hidden advertising are all over these magazines and they would most likely not exist without it. Even the serious morning papers are following up on this, we just don’t notice it.
You do not have to be a celebrity to work as a spokesman for a product, in London the mobile phone company Siemens, handed out free mobiles to all the cabdrivers, in exchange that they would tell all their customers how much they enjoy just that phone. Some companies even create web-sites targeting kids, they lure them to write down information about themselves and their family, without their parents knowledge. Others create competitions so people send SMS to participate, and at the same time they save all the numbers so that they may one day advertise directly to the people they know are buying their products.

The article “Commercials on stealthy feet’s” are telling us

should be: The article, "Commercials on stealthy feet" is telling us

since "feet" is plural for "foot" :D

the english language is silly though with other bits :p
