*BN
Crew To Promote Drink Driving*
BN All stars Mallentine and Gibnus Johanssen today stood by their latest
campaign to promote drink driving through a series of TV adverts.
The
pair have come under increasing pressure from media watchdog groups who
have hit out at their promotion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The
adverts, which show edited highlights of both BN members recent drink
drive arrests, will be screened exclusively during children's programming
and reinforced through a series of appearances in schools across the country.
"We
believe that drink driving is on the wane in Ireland today. High profile
media campaigns have made it almost a taboo subject whereas people used
to be proud to make it home from the pub in one piece. We would like to
see a day where people can proud of this achievement once again and deserve
the
right to get our message across to the children of today who will, God
willing, become the drink drivers of tomorrow" said a highly emotional
homeless man who was speaking on behalf of somebody.
The
adverts are expected to air for the first time during some show on some
channel at some point.
