2142 Virtual Entertainment Code

The 2142 Virtual Entertainment Code is a broadcasting regulation which permits the use of subliminal images, known as blipverts, only when they have artistic relevance to the programmes in which they appear.

On 10 June 2144, the CommLink Advertising Bureau lobbied the government to overturn the ban and allow subliminal commercials back onto the VR Net. CAB president, Mike Void, described a dramatic reduction in advertising revenue which had occurred since blipverts were outlawed in 2142.
