If CBS ( and the other networks) Really Care
When we were young the networks were forced to have a family time, a time in their schedule when they were forced to show family friendly programming.
Somewhere along the line those days have come and gone. We now are treated to shows and humor at eight pm that often would make a normal person blush.
However if anything is worse than the shows that we are seeing early in the schedule each evening it is the commercials. The commercials for the shows that will be on later are usually dripping with violence, blood, and gore.
Last evening after watching a CBS Cares commercial I was struck that it was followed soon after by a commercial for one of constant new kill porn movies coming out, something called Warm Bodies.
Let me get this straight, we are against gun violence, we are against desensitizing our children to violence and yet even if we abhors these movies we are subjected to commercials for them.
Perhaps the largest offender is ESPN. We encourage our young men to enjoy sports and yet one cannot watch a Sportscenter episode without seeing a commercial for a violent crime or horror movie.
Show me you care. Stop airing commercials for shows that are in no way similar to the programming being watched. Just stop.
