Reply #139: Offensive? [View All]

[shuffnew]

Well, I live in the central time zone with 3 children who go to bed at 9:30pm weekdays. My children see much worse just having to endure the pharmaceutical ads DAILY. So, you simply have to be the parent to explain away whatever you feel is so offensive. My children are not of the age to have been tuned in to the game anyway - if they had, they would have not been adversely affected by a joke of a falling towel...

I find the advertisements the most abusive... I am sick of Viagra and Cialis ads for instance (but, then Bushies have to cater to those folks, right? Fill their pockets with campaign money & fill their Deibold machines with votes.) There's no way to block these offensive ads from your channels.

So, I would say that you could just block out anything except Disney channel... but, no that won't work either... the far right extremes have objections to Disney's PG-13 movies too such as Hercules and Shriek2.

What to do... I choose not to put my children in a bubble... even if you opt for home schooling, they will eventually have to face the reality of diversity. So, teach them now -- your own way. Don't blame the media if your children go astray. It is a known fact, that many preachers' children (born in a bubble and kept there until they rebel) are more apt to struggle with reality and go the wrong way than children that have been exposed and educated in diversity.
