Very suggestive commercial during family movie

[Drewsmom]

So we're watching The Polar Express at 6:30 pm last night on ABC "Family" and 1/2 an hour into it they showed the Brittney Spears' commercial for her perfume Curious. It is extremely suggestive and literally shows her literally rolling around naked under the sheets at one point for 1-2 seconds. It's quick but enough to know what's going on. PLEASE people. Why in the world would they show this commercial period on what's supposed to be a FAMILY channel (what a joke), let alone at 6:30 pm during The Polar Express. Thanks so much, just what my 7 & 5 yr old boys needed to see!

If you want to give them some feedback like I did please fill out the form at:

Honestly, this is part of the reason I want my kids TV Free...I get disgusted that sex seems to sell EVERYTHING nowadays. There is no real "family time" to watch TV anymore. You have to censor everything.

Thanks for the link!

I did not see it but this is why my kids mostly do dvd or vhs movies . I should ditch the cable all together but I havn't yet. I like the on demand feature.

This is why we're finally getting a DVR for our downstairs (primarily for sports games my DH likes to watch) TV. I have always said that it was one thing to have it on when DD would glance and then go find something better to do but as soon as she could pick up on the images, we needed to get a DVR and he could record the games, and just start watching them a bit late and FF thru the ads. It's ridiculous though, because they'll show scary ads for like CSI (people holding guns, explosions) in the middle of the freakin' game.

I'm going to pay more attention to this, tho. If I see this, I'll comment too.

I totally agree with this. My Dh watches a lot of football and there have some really scary commercials on for scary movies. One was so scary he said he got a little scared
