For us, it gets even worse. We're in the animation business here, and I swear to you, I can barely let my kid watch cartoons, let alone television in general. The sex and violence in not just cartoons, but TV, is rampid -- and the commercials are even worse. Barbie is pregnant, the video games have no redeeming quality but to blow someone's head off, and then there's the sexually suggestive pre-teen clothing. It does not end, and it's on at all hours on, for example, Cartoon Network. Disney is passable, in at least the worst thing that could happen to a child is they get bombarded by Disney self-promotion - an evil in its own right, I dare say.

Well said, dd74. While my wife and I have no children, we are very conservative in our world view. As a teacher, my wife is often shocked by the kid's clothing, attitudes, what their parents allow them to watch on TV, what music they listen to...etc. Since when does the label MA-17 on a CD mean that a parent has to buy it for their kid? Don't parents have a clue about such things?
And TV? Don't get me going: used to be that after 9:00pm, the objectionable stuff would come on. Now, there's all sorts of crap throughout the day! It is getting pretty bad out there.
Oh well, there's my dismal thoughts for the day...
