Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation
scuwp: The whole program is 'tongue in cheek' so I guess it fits with the general nature of the show. Yes I hate it...I wish they would just say the F word and be done with it...much more fun that way, he he.
fab: I don't think they watch an awful lot of tv to note down the bad bits, I think it's that TV now has so much 'bad bits' in it...rife with slutty behaviour that's shown at the wrong times.
How I wish there could be a member's bill passed that only allowed them to advertise a program on or after it is due to be shown, e.g a program that's on at 10pm can only be advertised after 10pm.
Yes, I know, whinge & whine, but some of us have kids and don't enjoy watching ads full of sexual inunendos (spelling?) at 6/7/8pm at night.
And yes, I do vote with the remote! That's why we watch more DVDs with the kids than tv.
Ok off my soap box...now.

richms: I thought that they could only advertise a PGR show in a PGR or AO show etc?
Anyway, your reciever will have parental control options, set them to G and never have to see this stuff again, or go ask your parent for guidance about what is on. Dont try to force your moral standards onto everyone else, otherwise you are exactly the same as that lame parents television council in the USA
fab:
Not trying to force my moral standards, thanks, but I shudder at what kids can watch at 7pm these days.
My receiver does not have parental controls. We just watch television, and less and less lately, which isn't a bad thing! I don't to go ask my Mum or Dad as they are in the 70s...I'm talking about my own kids here. I can't see why tv stations see the need to normalise sex on tv, like it should be being shoved in our faces? That is moral standards though I guess :)

I have no kids, so dont care what time or rating things are shown on tv. As you do have kids you should be the one moderating their access to content that you disprove of with the many technological options available to you, or just some simple rules on watching TV, dont allow them to if you dislike it.

Read what he said properly... He's upset with being ambushed by sometimes very adult themes and materials during ADS or PROMOS which could be playing in the middle of a show about kittens at 6:30pm on a Saturday night!!!
I'd love to know what technological option you have for addressing that... Please don't say he should record everything and check it first, or should timshift everything by 3 minutes so he can hit a 30 second skip button the split second he notices a promo for something he chooses not to expose his children to.
Cheers - N
