I agree. You look at some of the programs on tv nowadays and you see women and men running around with little on and usually with a lot of sexual innuendos. I would not be surprised to see a naked breast or rear on prime time tv in the next couple years. IF you watch cable you can already see it.
Yes I think they should regulate this better. However if you think about it many times advertisement uses the naked or sexually promiscuous image to sell things. So they younger and younger that kids are exposed to this the more money you can get out of the little buggers. Also the internet has to be the easiest way to see just about any kind of sexual imagery you can think of.
I too think this is a ridiculously delayed understatement of the article and the outlook of the people just now becoming aware of things, I guess. "Duh, our kids are being exposed to a lot of sex? Wha, when, how?" Welcome to the current year.
But I'm from the 80s, when the Reagans' Just Say No motto was in full force, you couldn't say an AWFUL lot of words you can say now - I think you could see... Well you could see bikinis and stuff I guess in even primetime shows like Night Rider, but a lot of times this was fairly infrequent or extremely brief in the episode, and it seems like life then was SO much different than it is today, but I imagine that's what all grumpy old curmudgeons say, griping about the kids today with their ya-ya music, etc.
Now, computer and console games, board games, books, movies, series, comics, even toys, and of course, the bizarre celebrity-chasing fetish, and yes, the internet, are no doubt pumping this objectionable content into the public at large, though I have to admit that you do have to search for explicit pictures (usually) on the internet - it takes SOME level of effort, while some stuff possibly almost equitable, just gets broadcast on TV, without having to do anything at all, other than clicking on it in the channel menu guide, or not clicking on it if it's on the channel you were already watching another show on. Passive exposure, that is just going to pop up whether you're watching or not, or active exposure, looking specifically for something, or at least a category - one can be seen as "Listen, son, I know you went in there and specifically looked for this" and any necessary steps can be taken, but there isn't much you can say to a show or movie just throwing in material without you having any real idea, sometimes. "How could you watch that episode of the series we always watch, but somehow happened to have orgies in it tonight?!" Though parents are responsible for their children's viewing habits either way, reality really requires that some thought be given to how things really work - sometimes you don't have enough hours in the day to make sure each and every day, your kids are always under constant supervision, or you even trust them and their judgment, but this just wasn't the right way to to do it.
