[actsnoblemartin]

You see them every day: Commericals for tampons, diarhea, genital warts, stomach problems, erectile dysfuction, over the counter tablets for women with sexual dysfunction, cold sores, genital herpes, jock itch, athletes foot, head lice, hemmeroids, adult diapers, toe nail fungus, warts (planters, on the hand, not std)., condoms, pregnancy tests, feminine dryness, yeast infections, male enhancement (making your man friend bigger)

Then stop watching so much 2am TV. Companies pay for advertising.. Why does that bother you?

Here's what I don't get...

Janet Jackson shows most of a tit for 2 seconds and people go crazy - yet in the SAME Superbowl I've got commercials talking about erectile dysfunction. Now - Lemme ask you...which 'should' be more offensive to those with 'kids watching the game', a 2-second barely noticeable titty shot...or a 30-second spot talking about erections, penises, and sexual activity?

How do you feel about the violence during prime time vs a titty shot?

[retiredman]

ads get airtime because they work. the pharmacutical industy could give a shit if their ads disgust some people... clearly, those ads positively impact buying behavior for enough people to make them a good investment.

[darin]

Neither are harmful. Violence as shown on network TV? No problem. Booby shot? less of a problem. IF my kids had been watching, there's the BIGGEST chance they wouldn't have even noticed.

Now - in Germany, I'd see titty shots on commercials. Just don't get too worked up over that sorta thing

[Gunny]

Television sucks. Period. And the gov't is using it to secretly brainwash us by emmitting invisible, mind-altering waves into our living rooms.

I disagree and so do many professionals.

Hundreds of studies of the effects of TV violence on children and teenagers have found that children may:

* become "immune" or numb to the horror of violence
* gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems
* imitate the violence they observe on television; and
* identify with certain characters, victims and/or victimizers

Question....what group protested the titty shot the loudest?

HINT: Yer stepping on the religious rights' foreskin. Violence is accepted, a titty shot or even a love scene are not.

Then you and 'professionals' are wrong. Network TV 'violence' is a non-issue. It's ppl blowing up bombs, fighting, etc. Some "professionals" believe boys shouldn't play with toy guns, or wrestle. I'm a "professional" in my line of work - does that mean my opinion on strategic planning should be heeded by every level of government?

Hrm...the FCC?

I'm not going to take your red herring and turn this into yet ANOTHER opportunity for you to proclaim your hatred of Christians, P.

If you'd like to start a new thread about acceptability standards in terms of what is shown on TV from a Christian perspective, feel free to do so.

Why do you ALWAYS claim hate when backed to the wall?
Your claim is baseless, I don't hate Christians and that's all you really need know.
