It was banned because twitter failed to appoint a legal representative, a condition of doing business in Brazil. Failing to appoint a legal representative is kind of like sticking your fingers in your ears 'nya nya nya nya' and hoping your problems go away. They didn't.

Oral b pro 1, 2 or 3. They use the same motor and batteries as their most expensive ones, which is really the only bit that matters. Everything else is just gimmicks to justify the price... Bluetooth connections and other bullshit.

And don't bother with official heads either. Generics work fine. Just remember to change them often.

Yes, I admire her so much for doing this. She's a real hero.

Parents should say no, and now this will make it easier for them to do so :)

The advertising standards authority use a nutritional profiling model. If the food is High in Fat, Sodium, Suger (HFSS) it gets a higher score. Some points are deducted if it is high in fruit, veg or nuts. If the food is above a certain point threshold different advertising rules apply.

This applies to preprocessed food. Not ingredients you would use to prepare your own food.

I don't know about your other questions but some of the other rules are interesting...

You can't use licensed characters or celebrities to advertise to under 16s.

You can't condone or promote unhealthy lifestyle or eating habits. Ie. Eating a massive bucket of ice cream in front of the playstation.

You must not take advantage of a child’s vulnerability by appealing to emotions such as pity, fear, or self-confidence, or by Suggesting that having the advertised product somehow confers superiority, for example making a child more confident, clever, popular, or successful.

You must not present your price in a way that suggests children or their families can easily afford it. "Only". "just". Etc

This is brilliant! You must have been practicing for a long time to draw so well.

Just some good ol' oppression of the prol's through class.

That tacky rubber feeling as the soft rubber ages is disgusting. They only fix that every worked for me is covering it up... I used mouse grip pads, or grip tape.
