Great post jorgelito. I agree, these ads are amazing. Yes, they are shocking and yes, they are violent, but they have a purpose that is clearly stated and represented. And I believe that it would be important to show it during "family hour." Would I want my kids, if I had any, to see this? Absolutely. I would not go out of my way to show them these all the time, but I would allow them to see it without changing the channel. Not to say that I wouldn't be tempted, but it's important to recognize the problem. What's the point in trying to make a strong statement that is centered around the interactions of a family unit if the family cannot see it? Actually, I believe that goes for any problem. How can we eliminate a problem if we can't recognize it and stare it straight in the face?
