Adult Oriented Commercials
Adult-oriented content is showing up everywhere these days. I have seen a young woman’s rear end hanging out of short shorts displayed in our billboards. I have seen commercials advertising sexual enhancements and genital enlargement during family programming and children programming.
Our children and families are subjected to adult-oriented materials daily. We have freely allowed the media to fashion us and to think for us. Freedom of speech does not provide for the pollution of our families and children of which the advertisers and the media subtly air during family time and display in the path of our children. The intent of freedom of speech was never to allow adult-oriented contents to be placed in the common path of families and children.
Heres the issue;
Our children are watching cartoons on television and are subjected to "Male Enhancement" ads.
Our familes are watching TV during family hours and adult shows and product advertise with suggestive, provacative material.
Background
Our homes are supposed to be a sanctuary for our children. However, with the media's aggressive drive for more profits, our homes have become their easy prey; our innocent children, their innocent unsuspecting victims.
The media is out of control and is coming as uninvited guests into our homes, onto billboards on the roads we travel. into our lives, most especially into our children’s lives. Our children are thrust into an uneven playing field where they are destined to lose—unprepared, unarmed, unaided.
Parents and kids advocates alike are finding out that TV violence, sex and coarse language are not limited to TV programs; they are also concerned about content in ads for alcohol or Viagra or other similar products where the kids are unduly exposed to such inappropriate, offensive, and abusive commercials that are more geared toward certain consumer groups and age.
