A charity which campaigns for sufferers of motor neurone disease complains of double standards after its advert is banned from commercial TV.
The advert, made for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, has been deemed too shocking for commercial television audiences by commercials regulator Clearcast, due to its graphic nature. It shows a young woman being attacked unknowingly by the disease.
However the advert has been cleared for cinema audiences and a billboard campaign which is currently running.
Viewers of a nervous disposition may find images in the following advert distressing.
