Nepali TV network slammed for using 9/11 attacks to promote its news coverage
A direct-to-home TV service in Nepal has come under fire on social media for using the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States as part of a creative treatment in an ad.
The line in the corner of the ad, which features a weeping woman with a tea mug containing the burning twin towers, reads “Breaking news now at home… It’s a different kind of fun.”
One Twitter user pointed out that the 9/11 attacks are “hardly breaking news”.
The news emerged on BuzzFeed today after the editor of a Nepali news outlet tweeted the image, complaining that it was insensitive.
