I realize there is such a thing as free enterprise and all but Heck I pay for my television channels and there is enough advertizing on there daily that the stations are making quite a profit.
I also would prefer they didn't advertize condoms (as I mentioned before) on the cartoon channels where my daughter likes to watch. It was mentioned that a parent might want their child educated about safe sex or something of the sort. HA! As a parent I would like to educate her myself or have an impartial party in school educate her in a classroom setting. The junk commercials shown on TV ARE NOT for educational purposes in the least. There is no reason to be showing those types of commercials between juvenile programs.

Interesting. I'm not 100% sure about the condom commercial on Nickelodeon, because cable ops do get a percentage of local programming that they can "overlay" as an affiliate. When you do find inappropriate commercials like that you should contact the Nickolodeon offices and your local cable affiliate and let them know that it was a poor choice in commerical placement. If you cannot locate a phone number for Nick please PM me and I'll find one for you.
