Is Science World ad too violent for TV?

The latest ad from Science World in Vancouver has been banned by Canada's television regulator.

The spot called "Postively Painful" is based on the science fact that optimistic people experience less pain.

It hasn't been cleared for broadcast because the TV Bureau of Canada says it's too violent, according to CTV.
