In fact, that's usually the horse to bet on.

it isn't the best seller that is a threat. In fact, if people want to produce
porn and put it on a pay for view channel, I have no problem with that.
(WEll, okay, I really do have a problem with that, but I can compromise.)
But, I do not want to see nudity on prime time tv. I do not want it on cable
only TV. If people want to see this, it should be on direct subscription
only.
And lets raise the bar here. Lets stop the sex scenes on soap operas. Lets
stop the sexual inuendo in our videos.
I read porn from time to time, and I don't have a problem with that. I do
have a problem with it in what is supposed to be a family show. If I want
porn, I can go buy Playboy. If I really want something more graphic, I can
go buy Hustler. If I want to watch the sex acts, I cn rent a video.
I do not need it on broadcast TV>

Are TV commercials still based on sex?

You know, bru, the reason this stuff is so popular is because of the
prevalence of attitudes like yours. If people like you would learn to
ignore this crap and stop passing on your fears of the human form and
sexual functions to the next generation, this stuff would lose its
power over you.

Vote for what you like and dislike by TURNING OFF THE PROGRAM.

That's what bugs me a little about attitudes like bru's. It's one thing
if people want to limit their own viewing choices -- that's healthy, and
fully within their rights. But I dislike it when people start trying to
limit the choices the rest of us have just because they don't personally
like them.

re: "#41 (gsibbery): They'd go broke in a week."
Is that, sir, why G/PG movies typically make a lot more money than Rs?

47: I dare you to back that up with legitimate data.
The 'R' rating is widely recognized as by far the most revenue
generating rating for the American film industry.

But, I am not only worried about me. In fact, I am not worried about me at
all. What I am worried about are the parents who use TV as a babysitter, adn
don't pay attention to what their children are watching.
When I was growing up, parents didn't have to worry about what I was watching
on TV. It was all fairly wholesome. Nowdays, you have to be aware that many
programs are either violent or perverse.

Maybe parents shouldn't be letting TV do their parenting for them.
What ever happened to individual responsibility?

49: Those numbers are not enough to make the case. Try the top one
hundred grossing films of the last forty years.

You would also have to control for the proportions of each types of movies
made, and whether the reason some movies make more money is because of
their content or because of the rating itself.
