Special censors promoted for the occasion are to purge from television programs ads for personal hygiene products and underwear, the Italian ANSA news agency reported. Advertisement Beer ads are expected to be another target of "vulgarity" censors, who are due to start work on May 15, 10 days before Pope Benedict XVI arrives on a visit to Poland. There will be no sexy ads, no raunchy soap operas and no commercials for condoms on the state TVP network. Even ads for underwear will be scratched when in-house Catholic censors get to work next week. According to the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's television is determined to avoid anything that might distract viewers' attention and sully coverage of Benedict's visit May 25-28. An ad for the World soccer cup in June, in which a man and woman are seen having sexual intercourse has already been taken off the air, Gazeta Wyborcza said.
