Irresponsible Commercials

[Gentlemantech48]

It is just me or am I see more and more irresponsible commericals. In one I just saw a man and wife are telling their children they will live in a deep hole for 100 years for stealing their dessert from the refrigerator. In another Krazy glue is supposedly used to hold together a bungee cord as someone leaps from a bridge. In another clothes detergent commercial a kid is urged to slide down a grassy hill on his belly which in real life could mean he might be impaled on a stick coming out of the ground. What is happening?

Hi G,

I'm going to go with the understanding that you're makiong an attempt at humor here. I've never been concerned that a child might be impaled by a stick sliding on the ground. I'm not so much concerned these days with the 'fake' commercials that sell Krazy Glue or some commercial script telling kids that they're going to live in a hole for 100 years.

The one's that set my meter at kilter are the 100's of drug commericals that now populate the airwaves. We have a name for everything that happens to our bodies and a pill that fixes it if it doesn't kill you first. Then we have men and women strutting around in next to nothing to sell underwear. The days of a camera circling around a mannequin torso to show off a brand of underwear are gone. And of course the drugs that now allow men and women to overcome the natural degeneration of the sexual drive are probably not in keeping with God's desire for people. We are a nation obsessed with sex and all that it entails.

God bless you.
In Christ, Ted

I understand what you are saying about these other commercials also. You think if these other commercials as just funny or silly but I still say they are irresponsible and could cause a kid or person to try the same stupid stunt or cause a kid to have bad dreams about his parents putting him in a hole for 100 years.

The commercials aren't the only things on TV that's crazy. I just can't believe some of the pure junk that is passed off as "entertainment" these days.

Commercials are less offensive than most of the programing. And commercials are plenty offensive.
