If that is (and *** is being used as just another rating booster) then I guess that is a gauge of our society's morals as a whole.
Add:
So... would you talk about *** in front of your kids & parents?
edit: rephrasing... the *** talk that I am referring to akin to the questions posted by Mo Twister (e.g. spit or swallow). informative *** talk (right conception technique, contraceptives, etc.) is different from this.
Mazda, I think your views are deserving of a whole new thread for discussion. They are important because they pinpoint something that most people in the country want to close their eyes to.
First of all, *** IS BEING USED to sell everything on TV, PRINT, RADIO, etc. It would be simplistic to say that the use of it to SELL is a gauge of the country's moral compass. Personally I believe we've lost our way a loooong time ago. Tsikot's motorists are witness to this every single day with the barrage of ***ually charged billboards on Edsa and C-5. Almost everything you see on TV has a ***ual spin, Wowowee has half naked dancers that gyrate wildly every other minute (not to mention Willie's ***ual references in his jokes), commercials seen on daytime TV show "performance enhancing" vitamins, *** icons peddling everything from magazines to milk. When you crack open a newspaper, some of the biggest ads there feature implied nudity and invitations to have breast enlargements. C'mon now, a little frank talk about oral *** and virginity offends you? I'd rather listen to a show that will openly discuss it than watch a commercial on TV that insults my intelligence.
Now as to exposing young people or kids to it, I think that only shows the huge mistake in parenting and religious intolerance.
*** is a subject that is often on young people's minds. They are exposed to it no matter what, to not accept that is to live in denial. Pre-marital *** is very prevalent nowadays, as are unplanned pregnancies and abortions. These happen because most people would rather close their eyes to reality than educate their children about *** and its implications. Couple that with a church that forbids the use of condoms and what do you have? The ignorant make the most mistakes.
I'd much prefer that my kid hears this program, laugh at it for its entertainment value, and KNOW what to filter out since I've already taught them about it.
Actually, if you turn on the AM channel, you'd be surprised at the amount of *** talk that is happening there. You'd also be suprised at how many DJ"s utter words like "gago", "tarantado", etc, in reference to whichever politician they happen to be upset at that day. I believe this is called freedom of the press, something that Mo is entitled to, and happens to be benefitting from, hehe. He sure is getting a lot of publicity.
