Rally against TV ads that corrupt children
The Gazette Opinion Staff
Mar. 7, 2010 11:30 pm
We are bombarded 24/7 by Cialis and other male starch products on all television stations. When the heck are we going to stop this advertising from assaulting us? Stop it by sending petitions, with many names on it, to national TV networks.
Has anyone given any consideration, with both parents working and the little Bobbies and Suzies going to caregivers who are easily stirred negatively by these messages, that they are putting these children at risk? Do you want your children or grandchildren to tell you later in life how you failed to do what is necessary in our uncertain world? These bad incidents can never be erased from children's minds.
We have a national problem. Address it now.
