The lastest invasion into my home through that box we call TV is a commerical for chewing gum of all things. I watched some guy on TV eat a piece of this stuff and suddenly some total stranger of a women can't control herslef in public. I'll stick with the Tic-Tac's.
A new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that the number of sex scenes broadcast on TV has doubled in the past seven years. Kaiser found nearly 3,800 scenes with sexual content in 2005, compared to 1,100 such scenes in 1998. That doesn't even count the commericals!
The House passed bills last year and again last February to increase the current maximum penalty for violations of those laws from $32,000 to $500,000. In the current Congress, Sen. Brownback's (R-Kan.) Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act (S. 193), is the counterpart to the House bill that passed in February. Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) has supported stronger indecency rules for television, but he has not yet offered the pending indecency bill a hearing. Please contact your two U.S. Senators. Ask them to press Sen. Stephens to hold hearings on the broadcast decency bill, S. 193. It's time.
