Mature Material Marketed to Kids
by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 27, 2000 10:30am PDTThey can never give it a break can they? A new report by the US Federal Trade Commission has show that movie studios, record companies and video game producers have aggressively marketed violent entertainment products to children (thanks Stomped). Guess who made his way into this article as well? That's right, senator Joseph I. Lieberman.
Investigators reviewed thousands of pages of internal documents from the entertainment industry, including market research showing that violent material is an effective lure to get young people to buy movie tickets, music and video games, sources say.I bet this argument will go on forever.

At that shackArt place, why can't I copy the code out of the text box? When I try to paste it somewhere else, it doesn't paste anything?

All this crap makes me wonder why no one is calling out Anheuser-Busch Inc. for having the 'Ferrit' in their Budweiser commercials.
If that aint the 'Joe Camel' of alcohol advertizing, then just WTF would be? Dont get me wrong, I like 'Frank and Louie', but the ferrit is definitely there for an 'underage hook'. A blind moron could see that, but where is Joe Lieberman's opinion on alcohol advertizing?
Just curious.......

...Hmmmm, I wonder if they were going for a subliminal message in their campaign?
Again, I'll vote for any president who makes it a law that Gillian Anderson's clothing can only consist of whipped cream. Actually, I think they should make it a law that ALL attractive hollywood starlets have to wear whipped cream clothing. Man, that'd sell alot more movies to youth...

Gillian Anderson's boobs must be covered in whipped cream within the next 72 hours
I hereby close this thread
... dear God I need a woman.
You know, life is really really short. You only really have so much time to get anything done. Funny that we sit here and debate things like this. Funny that our leaders concern themselves with issues on the other side of the planet. I guess they call it "making a contribution to society" in their lives. You know what though, 100 years from now they'll be teaching students about Al Gore and Bill Clinton, and those students aren't going to care. They're gonna wanna go out and drink beer and get naked with someone.
Dunno, maybe it just ends up being so pointless to argue about stuff that ultimatly, when we're all dead, not mean a damned thing.
Except Gillian Anderson's boobs covered in whipped cream. That'll matter for a great long time.
