The times these ads are shown

It's 1.15 pm Mountain time, and I'm watching TNT. They're showing The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford.

And they've just shown an ad for Enzyte, the "natural male enhancement" pill or whatever it is.

Some guy with a huge smile on his face - but otherwise looking like a department store dummy, as if the rest of his brain is fried - is walking around with women giving him yearning -have sex-with-me-now looks. As always, these commercials glorify animal-sex, not romantic sex.

And who is watching these movies at 1.17 pm in the afternoon. Admittedly it's a school day, so those kids who actually go to school won't see it. But what about all the drop-outs?

Last night, I was flipping through channels and stopped briefly on the Family channel. The Family channel - a channel that is presumably supposed to be showing movies and TV shows suitable for viewing by the entire family. And what was the commercial they were showing, during a movie that would be watched by kids as well as parents?

It was a Victoria Secret commercial! The one where all these women are dressed in skimpy bras and panties, and lying on the floor and squirming around and acting like they're in heat.

Definitely not suitable for kids, yet there it was.
