Has anyone else noticed that kids tv shows are slowly working in words like sexy into their context?
It really bugs me...how are they getting away with this stuff? I can't believe it. My sister was watching a show on cartoon network and the said it on that show and another show she was watching too. What bugged me most is the show was on at like 7:00 which isn't that late....it just gives me an unsettling feeling

"Hatori: Tell me, when the snow melts, what does it become?
Tohru: Huh? Mmm, let's see. It becomes spring, right?"
The word use is mild in nature at the absolute worse. It's probably just another ploy to attract a teenage audience again with "mature" content. Still, if it gets those three morons and all those other reject shows bumped off the air then I'm all for it.
I do see what you're saying, Nala. I have a younger sister and if she has Nickelodeon I usually take note of what is being said.
They're allowed to use words like "suck", "sexy", and "oh my God". Granted, I freely use all of these words but when I was a CHILD they were non-existent on my TV shows. Sadly we're pushing children to grow up faster and faster...

In the upcoming movie on ABC Family, the one with Hillary Duff, she's going to basically date around a whole bunch of cute guys, and in the commercial she said something like, I feel like I'm in Playboy. I understand that kind of a movie being on, but I don't think it really qualifies as "family" programming.
I think you guys have either forgotten what was on TV when you were kids or you just didn't watch it that much.

But was it on ABC Family?
On what basis are you guys complaining? Surely you don't believe that if, e.g., "oh my God" was kept out of children's television, then children wouldn't hear it? Adults and children, however estranged from each other, frequently communicate in each others' presence, so the bulk of their vocabulary, vulgarities included, is shared. I dunno about you guys, but I swore a lot more at eight than I do now at twenty.

If it's neither true by definition nor falsifiable, then it isn't important.
Case in point: you'll never hear the F-word on children's television, but just try to find a ten-year-old who's unfamiliar with it.

Our parents were amazingly strict when we were kids, which is probably painting nala's perspective to a point. It was pretty much PBS/Nick Jr, Star Trek and TV Land growing up.

He wasn't there again today. Oh how I wish he'd go away.
