Oh that is bad... They make (or use) catchy tunes too so they do stick in the kids heads.
I agree also. The reality is that you can't avoid this stuff unless you just put your head in the sand. I wanted my kids to see the political conventions but then I find myself having to explain to DS age 11 why a seventeen year old (the same age as his cousin) is pregnant. He really isn't ready for the full talk but we had to have it anyway. Thanks a lot John McCain.

An 11 year old not ready for the full talk of why a 17 year old is pregnant? Really? Just curious, but why?
As for the commercials, I agree that many are a little over the top. I really wish they would consider the target audience of a show a little more.
This topic sooo reminded me of the "Feminine Hygene" song...

im 32 and tampon and maxi pad commercials were surely on when i was a child. i just think kids arent paying as much attention as we think, i know i wasnt.
if my child asked me what herpes was i think i would just tell them its a disease. you dont have to go into so much detail.
my kids watch mostly disney channel, nick and discovery . none of them run any of those commercials. i think if you watch local channels you have more of an issue.
The worst for us is when our DD9 started singing "Viva Viagra"...at first it was hard to not laugh, but then I told her to not sing it...it really is hard to explain some of the stuff that shows up on tv.
Has anyone seen the commercial where the guy is dressed up like Santa? It's some sort of male enhancement commercial & it ends with a lot of women lined up to sit on Santa's lap after he takes this pill or whatever it is. I can't remember what channel it was on, but I was very glad DD wasn't watching it with me!
