Validity: Valid for nations with large wealth gaps.
Description: After @@RANDOMNAME@@ allegedly gifted a luxury watch for one of @@HIS@@ favorite government officials thanks to a global holiday-season commercial from one of Albionia's most famous watchmakers giving @@HIM@@ the desire to do so, the government official became a target of a large-scale seasonal corruption scandal out of all seasonal corruption scandals involving @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ government officials that tend to take place during the festive season, further raising concerns among the frustrated public regarding @@NAME@@'s large wealth gap.
Option #1: "Can @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ government officials live a low-key lifestyle - that is, a lifestyle without all the bling they tend to receive during the summer travel season?" writes Monica Applegate, the host of the West Fedorian variety show We've Got All Sorts of Thoughts!, in a letter to @@LEADER@@. She then continues, "Obviously, I'd say "yes" when answering that question! I swear to you, @@LEADER@@, that you've got to ban those TV commercials that advertise luxury stuff and mitigate all the frustration regarding @@NAME@@'s wealth gap immediately!" (Effect: commercials promoting luxury lifestyles and goods are banned from airing on @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ television networks)
Option #2: "Honestly?" senator @@RANDOMNAME@@ argues while discussing this matter in @@CAPITAL@@. "I strongly oppose this proposal for a ban on advertisements for luxury products! Let luxuries be luxuries, and let the poor work for the money to buy those luxuries. That's my ideology. I believe that any seasonal corruption scandal involving a government official is nothing but just another minor scandal. Get it? I hope this helps." (Effect: poor @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ are starting to beg for bling on the streets of @@CAPITAL@@ more often)

Option #2 (for countries where citizens are allowed to connect to the Internet): However, a number of @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ had a heated online debate on whether or not a ban on TV commercials promoting luxury products should be implemented in @@NAME@@ to curb corruption among certain government officials and mitigate concerns regarding the nation's wealth gap, with a netizen even deciding to say, "Please don't ban commercials for bling-bling goods - I still love that luxury stuff!"

Option #3 (for countries where citizens aren't allowed to connect to the Internet): "Honestly?" senator @@RANDOMNAME@@ argued while discussing this matter in @@CAPITAL@@.

So I was inspired (maybe loosely?) by this CNN article from 2013 regarding the Chinese government's banning of TV ads for luxury goods to start drafting an issue where the nations who receive it get to choose whether or not to, following a corruption scandal involving a government official, ban commercials for bling from their TV networks. This is my first ever experience with drafting issues, so if you want me to improve the above draft, feel free to tell me!
(On a side note, I'm not sure if this draft overlaps with an already-existing issue, so if it does, please tell me.)
