So if there was a ratings system, no doubt the Superbowl would be rated as
a mature subject since it does involve violence. And the ads support alcohol consumption. Are these things ok to watch with your kids? People seem hung up on a breast, but not on the other seedy aspects of the telecast. Well, actually, I have complained for years about the Disney channel, with the exact same reasons. Not really alcohol, but teen-band, sex-appeal singers, and thoughtless rubbish. MTV is killing our teens, and Disney is killing our children. HOWEVER, it is up to the parents to allow, or prevent thier children from viewing these different things. A complex ratings system (even including ads) will help parents block certain levels/ratings that they know their kids should not see. -Steve Michaelson "FDR" wrote in message ...

If that was the case, IMHO, anything would be allowed to be broadcast, and it would be up to each individual as to what he/she wants to listen to. Take a look at the Superbowl inncident, that I am sure everyone is aware of. I, for one, did not want to see that. But, there is a possibility that some people did. The only thing that needs to be regulated are the ratings/content notification systems. If people can know ahead of time what type of content will be on a radio/television show, then they can make a desision on whether or not to watch. Americans are free to listen to/view what they choose (within certain limitations, i.e. child porn, etc.) and it is not up to the F.C.C. to regulate what goes out over the airwaves. However, I do believe that the FCC could do some good, by creating a ratings system that works. Nobody wants to be suprised. -Steve Michaelson The fact that the airwaves belong to the people doesn't exclude the possibility that the majority of people want some regulation. A rating system doesn't solve all problems. Children just don't have the ability to choose what is good for them and what might be bad. Those who think that good parenting can overcome this and that children can be supervised constantly, can't be parents. Suppose the superbowl incident was was scheduled to happen. Suppose there was a rating system to reflect that. Personally, I want to be able to sit down with my kids and watch the superbowl.

Are these things ok to watch with your kids? People seem hung up on a breast, but not on the other seedy aspects of the telecast. I don't want to skip the game because it has a rating that worries me. I don't even want to be put in a position where I have to turn off the half time show because of content. Steve ... feeling very prudish today, I guess. |
