Canadian Science Museum ad ‘too violent’ for TV
A new TV advert for Vancouver’s, Science World Museum has been pulled on the basis that the 30-sec- ond clip is too violent.
The comedy ad features a high- spirited man walking from his house in the early morning, only to encoun- ter a series of mishaps, including stepping onto a nail and getting kicked by a small child. The hap- less man then gets a fl aming arrow in the back before being hit (off screen) by a bus, with the man con- tinuing to be cheerful and smile throughout the advert. A tagline then offers a scientifi c fact which reads ‘optimists feel less pain’. The ad subsequently went viral online. Read more:

Skellig Michael was listed as a UNESCO site in 1996 and features in the upcoming Star Wars fi lm UNESCO concern over Star Wars fi lming at heritage site
UNESCO has enquired about whether appropriate authorisation was granted for the use of World Heritage site Skellig Michael as a fi lm set for the latest instal- ment in the Star Wars franchise. A UNESCO spokesperson confi rmed that the heritage body has asked the National Monuments Service (NMS) – which over- sees heritage sites in Ireland – for further “information on fi lming permissions.” Skellig Michael is an island off the coast of County Kerry and features a Christian monastery founded at some point between the 6th and 8th centuries. The remains of this monastery, along with
most of the island itself, were added to the World Heritage Site list in 1996. In addition to UNESCO, both Birdwatch Ireland and an independent archaeologist had expressed concerns about the impact of a major fi lm crew on a fragile environ- ment and sites such as the monastery. UNESCO also said that it was not aware
of any advanced notifi cation, although the Irish government is not obliged to inform it about such projects unless there was deemed to be a potential risk to the “uni- versal value” of a UNESCO site. The NMS is due to report back to the heritage body. Read more:
