After receiving a complaint from the Mayor of Newport, Oregon that a state-funded television commercial was insensitive, the Oregon Health Authority said that it would stop running the commercial.

United StatesCoronavirus (COVID-19)

After receiving a complaint from the Mayor of Newport, Oregon that a state-funded television commercial was insensitive, the Oregon Health Authority said that it would stop running the commercial.  

The commercial takes place on a fishing boat.  The captain comes out on deck and says to the crew, "New rule gentlemen.  Groups are limited to six."  After counting the number of crew members on board (who are all wearing masks, by the way), he realizes that they are too many people on the boat -- so one of the people is thrown overboard.  The voiceover then says, "Thank you, Oregon, for limiting gatherings."  The commercial then ends with the super, "PRACTICE SAFE SOCIALIZING."
