Condom Commercials!

Six may not be the appropriate time Larry but then again I guess if the info gets to them then maybe someday one of them won't come to you at 16 and say, " Dad, Mary and me had an accident and she is pregnant". I would think that is the worse of the two scenarios.

BigFish sorry if that came across kinda messed up, but I've done volunteer work with RI project Aids and TRUST ME!!!! horror stories of kids young kids! You want them exposed its a good chance to educate.

I recently met with the CEO, marketing, and operating folks of the company that makes Trojans. (Church & Dwight, based in Princeton, NJ. Traded on the NYSE, ticker symbol CHD, and a BUY-rated stock at the research firm I work with).

6:00 p.m. may be considered too early..

...but if you look at what kids are doing nowadays...and how soon they are doing it...

...it's not that inappropriate methinks. Do an internet search on news stories about junior high/high school kids about "friends with benefits." (I think there was a huge Newsweek or Time article not too long ago). You will be shocked at the pervasiveness of pre-teen/teen oral sex. (As an aside, Trojan came out with a new mint-flavored condom to address the TEEN oral sex segment).

Plus, if you see all the other ads out there for treatments for things like erectile dysfunction at all hours of the day, Trojan ads aren't entirely out of place.

This is only the beginning folks...according to the Trojan marketing people, you will see more condom ads more frequently (with a "carrot/stick" message), pending approval from the FCC.

2 words.... Milton Academy

not a fan of the condom adds
however

13, 14, 15 y/o are all in the "active" list today.... if you followed the story, the one thing that jumped at me, was the "it's not that uncommon", and a lot of the kids were "like, whats the big deal"...
like it's been said E/D commercials morning, noon, and night.
I have kept an open dialog with both my kids.... like it or not, it's a whole different world, than what we grew up in... communication, and education, and hopefully the kids will decide whats best (I'm not saying right, hopefully they've been taught that)....... if not, at least they know some kind of protection, is better than none.


How about the Ted, Fred, Ed add for metamucil thats on right around dinner time.....

I see both sides of this argument...however, I do see where Bigfish is coming from....watching the game with my 9 year old, and the next thing he is saying is " for that long lasting excitement...try Levitra "..."hey, Jay, what's Levitra?".....I will admit that kids need to know...but not on Sunday afternoon when I'm trying to watch the tube.

is when jr high school and high school kids do a lewinsky....

and hey that wasnt sex..... so said our former president...

and so its not viewed as such by the younger generation...

kids need sex education allot earlier in the game before they

start experimenting on their own at age 13 ,14,15,,, and in many cases

even earlier than that. i think the internet is partly or mostly responsible

for starting a stampede

of pornographic sociological changes within our society.

TV was second to movies until the VCR arrived then it took

over until the internet began to have a greater impact.

Lewinsky?
