How many people are really watching Monday Night Football with their kids? Is that what passes for "family" entertainment today?
The media and the so-called Christian moralists are running this nation into the ground. I don't have children of my own, but I agree with other posters on this thread that the nightly news showing beheadings and war scenes is likely more damaging than a "funny" commercial. I say "funny" because that would probably be what most children would see it as. They might not grasp the full intent of what was being said, but they hear their parents chuckle, so they think that it is supposed to be funny.
In any case, if you don't like the commercials get yourself a ReplayTV and set it to record your shows with commercial advance. Like magic all of those objectionable commercials will be gone!
