[QUOTE="Star*, post: 146813, member: 4964"] So what do you suppose could be done? Is there a place to write the stations about the commercials? i LOVE your idea Fran - ban this crud until someone comes up with a classier idea - I got over - The Axe commercial where the boy follows women around and day-dreams about them in their underwear. Then sprays himself with some pseudo-pheremone spray and then you see him in zebra speedo underpants - (could have gone all day without seeing THAT) I got over - Smilin' Bob - and the idiotic way they portray his wife in a 50ish manner - while in the 50's you couldn't even have married couples sleep in beds together. Thanks to Fred and Wilma Flintstone we can now see all the dry humping we can handle. And on national tv - one of DF's favorite shows - Two and 1/2 men - Charlie Sheen says to the little boy about "clock" blocking him at a party. It was tooooo much. Just bits and pieces of Nip/Tuck that I have flicked through - were XX rated at best in a movie - but yet are there right on my TV for anyone, any age to wander lust. I'm not old - but I really REALLY long for the days when jokes were implied. I remember watching the Carol Burnette show and The Dean Martin Roasts - even Johnny Carson - and while if you snuck to watch them - and didn't get the joke as a kid - you still laughed and your parents KNEW you had no idea what was so funny. It was humorous and entertaining, not gross, vulgar in too much information. And that commercial about the boat/tampons? I actually wrote Tampax about that and told them how offended I was. I think sensitivity training is in order for TV executives that are ALLOWING this filth to become the norm. Maybe writin Nielson? I dunno - any suggestions and I'm joining the band wagon. [/QUOTE]
