Vegan charity Viva! ad featuring baby being taken from mother banned
An ad for vegan charity Viva! featuring scenes of a human baby being taken from its mother to protest against the treatment of dairy calves has been banned for irresponsible, distressing and likely to cause widespread offence. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the cinema ad, which drew on the conventions of horror films, would have been particularly distressing for viewers who had experienced the loss of a child. The ad, seen in March and April 2025, featured a mother placing her sleeping baby in a cot while a lullaby played before a silhouetted figure suddenly appeared standing over the infant and the room went dark. The mother switched on a light to reveal a man in a suit running a bottle of milk across the bars of the cot, which was now empty, before he said: 'You can't keep your baby because we want your milk.' The next scene showed a calf in a pen and a voiceover stated: 'Almost every dairy calf is taken from their mother shortly after birth so most of her milk can be sold to us. And what do you think happens to thousands of male babies like this one?' The words 'Dairy is Scary' and the Viva! logo appeared on a black screen accompanied by a loud, metallic noise and the sound of something falling to the floor. The ASA received 25 complaints, including one from The Dairy Council of Northern Ireland, that the ad was irresponsible, distressing – especially to those who had lost a child – and was likely to cause serious or widespread offence. Viva! said they aimed to raise awareness of standard practices in the dairy industry, particularly the removal of calves from their mothers shortly after birth. The charity said the ad was based on factual information and was intended to inform and encourage ethical choices, not to shock. The ASA said viewers would understand that the ad aimed to raise awareness of animal welfare, but said the nature of the comparison was likely to be seen as insensitive by many, and in particular by those with experience of loss or trauma around parenthood. The ASA said: 'Although the ad did not depict the baby being harmed, and it was not shown being physically removed, we considered that its disappearance was likely to be seen as shocking and unsettling. 'We further considered that the statement 'You can't keep your baby', in combination with the sudden disappearance of the baby, was likely to be particularly upsetting for viewers with experience of child loss or fertility issues, in particular because the parallel with dairy industry practices was revealed only in the latter half of the ad. 'We considered that the message of the ad did not justify the distress likely to be caused by the approach, in particular to vulnerable audiences. 'For those reasons, we concluded that the ad was irresponsible and likely to cause unjustified distress and serious and widespread offence.' The ASA ruled that the ad must not appear again in the form complained about, adding: 'We told Viva! to ensure that future ads were prepared responsibly and did not contain content that was likely to cause serious or widespread offence or unjustified distress to viewers.' The founder and director of Viva!, Juliet Gellatley, said: 'We strongly reject the ASA's decision. The charity understand that this is a deeply sensitive topic and care had been taken to ensure the scene was obviously symbolic; a fantasy rather than literal. 'The aim was to shine a light on animal suffering in a way that connects emotionally, not to trivialise human grief. 'This ruling is nothing short of censorship. It's based entirely on subjective opinion, not facts nor evidence. Meanwhile, adverts from the meat and dairy industries continue to present staggeringly false portrayals of idyllic farms – and the ASA does nothing.'

Become a Master of Evil With Darth Vader's Actual Lightsaber (if You Have $3 Million)
io9 has covered a few notable Star Wars auctions lately, as rare toys and highly collectible props have come to market in surprisingly robust amounts. But maybe the most exciting example has just emerged: Darth Vader's lightsaber. The actual, authentic, screen-matched hilt used by David Prowse and his stunt double in both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. As your mind reels at the possibility of owning such a prize, consider that it's estimated to command $1 million at the lowest estimate and $3 million at the highest… and maybe more. Propstore's press release touting the sale notes that back in 2022, it sold a screen-matched miniature of a Star Wars X-wing fighter for over $2.3 million, but 'Vader's lightsaber has the potential to surpass that figure.' If any Star Wars prop is going to rake in that much dough, it's gotta be this one. The press release stresses that this is the very weapon deployed in Darth Vader's climactic battles with Luke Skywalker, used on-set by Prowse and stunt performer Bob Anderson. Here are additional details on the piece: 'It is constructed from a vintage British press camera flash handle that was transformed into Vader's infamous weapon through the fitting of dressing components such as plastic grips, calculator bubbles, and cosmetic wiring. This specific prop was further modified with a custom blade-mounting system that facilitated the installation of a wooden rod; the rod served as the blade during the choreographed fight scenes and made the physical, on-camera dueling possible. It also later served as a guide for visual effects artists to add the hand-animated glow for the final shots.' What's more, 'this is believed to be the only hero lightsaber prop from the original Star Wars trilogy with verifiable screen use ever to be offered at public auction and is widely considered one of the most sought-after items in Star Wars collecting.' Propstore's Entertainment Memorabilia Auction takes place this September in Los Angeles, after several of the biggest items—including Indiana Jones' bullwhip and belt from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Sauron's helmet from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring—complete a press tour to London, Beverly Hills, and New York. You can find out how to bid here. Want more io9 news?

Doobie Brothers Rocker, 76, Gives Fans Exclusive Glimpse Backstage on Tour
Doobie Brothers Rocker, 76, Gives Fans Exclusive Glimpse Backstage on Tour originally appeared on Parade. The iconic 70s rock band The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour — and founding guitarist Patrick Simmons gave fans an exclusive glimpse backstage at their latest stop, the Co-Op Live in Manchester, England. The band played the venue on July 15, and that day, they took to their Instagram stories to share a video of Simmons, 76, walking around backstage before posing with a drawn version of himself featured on a poster for this particular show on the band's current tour, titled the 'Walk the Road' tour. In the video, Simmons — who plays guitar and banjo, as well as providing vocals, for the group — can be seen smiling and making silly faces as he poses for what appears to be some photos. He even took his round glasses off for some shots to better match his drawn counterpart, who features on the poster without spectacles like Simmons sometimes wears. The Doobie Brothers are currently on tour in Europe, traversing the United Kingdom and Ireland for another week before bringing the tour back home stateside for August and most of September. Their next gig will take place in Birmingham, England at the PB Pulse Live Arena on July 17 and their last scheduled date on their website is at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada on September 18. The band was formed in San Jose, California in 1970 with an original lineup of Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John Hartman, and Dave Shogren. In 1975, Michael McDonald joined the group to sub in for Johnston while he was dealing with health issues — but McDonald, 73, ended up being a key component who would stick with the band until 1982. He returned to the band in 2019 and is playing on the tour alongside Simmons, Johnston, 76, and John McFee. The band released their latest album, Walk the Road, early last month. Doobie Brothers Rocker, 76, Gives Fans Exclusive Glimpse Backstage on Tour first appeared on Parade on Jul 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
