Which means 5/6 don't. And even of that 6th many are tolerant. eg go to a
hotel in Dubai and you can buy a beer.

So I would say -1 if it is a good ad. That is what matters, is the ad catchy

generally globally acceptable we are killing free speech which is far more
important than free beer or even free software ;-).
