TreeStandBowHunter Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 What's the world coming to? We do a pretty good job of watching what our kids watch on TV and/or listening to. I can say that 85% of the 'Bad" stuff they know, they learned in school and there isin't too much I can do about that. That's just life. But let's talk about watching a hockey game. You can't even watch a hockey game without getting a commercial about sexual inuendos(sp). There is a M&M commercial out there that I can't believe they air. Some of you might have seen it. OLN shows it all the time. OLN also shows a bunch of hockey games so therefore I watch a bunch of OLN along with my boys. It's not suitable for kids I'll tell you that and I can't believe M&M Mars allows it. I am half tempted to send an email to them. I mean this is a commerical for chocolate for cying out loud.

Our advertizing industry is getting shameless and irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Re: Some commercials on TV today, I can\'t believe It's friggin M&M's people. It's a joke and it is inuendo not saying,"hey, let's watch chocolate get frisky!" It's a joke because the chocolate is by a fire they are going to melt into one which is what the commercial is all about. Mixing the two together. I swear, some people get ticked about the silliest things. That is why we are slowly but surely losing the rights we have every day and people are giving them up freely. One person gets ticked because they are thinking dirty so they assume everyone else, including kids, are thinking the same way. And I think Buckee meant to say that our advertisers are getting SHAMELESS and irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Re: Some commercials on TV today, I can\'t believe Yep. This network trash that's on TV now too, commercials for just about anything on the FOX network gets turned off right away. My family likes watching American Idol, but the other shows on FOX get advertised on that show. The level of sex and violence is unbelievable. There must be a market for trash TV, 'cuz it seems to be getting worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Well I guess it's a good thing people like BowJoe ain't in charge of what's on TV Has nothing to do with losing rights. Where did that come from Are you thinking again Obviously your not because you must be talking about a different commercial than I am. Any dumb person could tell you that it was pointed to sex especially when the lady starts talking. Some people make me wonder Anyway, Buckee edited my description of it. I was only going off the commercial so if Mr. Buckee edited what I initially typed in the original post which was right off the commercial, they you have to wonder just how bad it was. BTW, thank you Buckee because my test had worked and you proved my point. I knew it would be edited which made my point even more clear...it shouldn't of been on TV!

leatherneck Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Some commercials on TV today, I can\'t believe I think that there should be one channel for commercials only. If you wanna watch them, then go to that channel. That way I dont have to hear about how "Bob has a new spring in his step, and is the talk of the neighborhood" while I'm watching the Spurs game!!!!

BowJoe Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Some commercials on TV today, I can\'t believe What I meant by my dumbness, in your words TSBH, is that we are getting caught up into the whole polital correctness of the day. I can think of worse commercials years ago that are mild in comparison to this one. Granted, I didn't see the one with the candies in the back of the station wagon until after I typed my post but I was talking about the fireplace one. And as far as me bing in charge of tv programming, I can safely say I have my morals are in check and they don't need to be questioned by you. I just realize that when you pay for tv, you get what you pay for. You know what's on Tv or you wouldn't watch that channel ever again and eventually you'd block out all of them. You take that risk everytime you watch tv and if anybody thinks the providers are to blame then look again. It's the audiences that are a younger generation that are the target here, not you. They are the ones that buy M&M's and other candy products the most. I agree that the one with the station wagon was a bit of an eye opener but I am mature enough and understand it's just a commercial. I simply look at it as a desparate move by advertisers to hook the sexually active teens and young adults into buying M&M's candybars. You need to lighten up. And from what I can tell, Mods don't need testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an observation I have made over the last couple of weeks. We as members are asked to "keep it clean" in here because of the youth that visit this site. YET, anytime a member posts about something being offensive to them, this causes an uproar, This thread is a perfect example. The one in the "POLITICAL ROOM" about the Book in the elementary school system, that was placed there by MISTAKE, that's another. Sometimes I wonder what some of you are thinking making the posts you make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeStandBowHunter Posted April 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Some commercials on TV today, I can\'t believe Hey Gator, go with the flow Bro But while I am here, my point was that if the Mod deemed it necessary to edit my post which simply described the commercial, you have to wonder why the commericial was ever aired on TV. It didn't offend me but AGAIN my point was that kids can't even watch a simple hockey game without a commercial dealing with sex comes on. Now to you VT, if I offended you, oops. I wasn't trying too. I think some are purposly trying to blow it up bigger than what it is...or should I say "Baiting". I didn't see the need for that comment VT. The Mod comment by BJ shouldn't of even came up but in since it did, I answered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
