I am trying to relax and watch Star Wars on a beautiful Christmas morning. However, my enjoyment quickly turned to disgust and I had to send the children out of the room and change the channel.
Star Wars, obviously an American icon and children's favorite, was interrupted every 8 minutes or so, to sell female self pleasure devices, i.e., vibrators. When they were not selling vibrators, they were selling some kind of lubricated condom guaranteeing his and her fantastic pleasure.
Now keep in mind this is in the morning, before noon, on Christmas morning during Star Wars.
Who is more likely to be watching Star Wars on a Saturday morning, Christmas morning? Children? or sex perverts?
I can only make the logical and natural assumption that Trojan and Spike TV are intentionally marketing these products to children.
I am a grown man and these commercial were grossing me out. I know what women are doing with that penis shaped vibrator. While I don't mind when it is 'in context', it is not something I want to think about on a Saturday Christmas morning while trying to watch Luke and Hans fight Darth and save the princess with the kids.
These commercials should never air before 10PM and never on a Saturday morning during children's programming. It is just simple common decency. What is wrong with these people!?
I am a grown man and far from a 'prude' but this just disgusting and it ruined the movie for everyone. Next time, I will just rent it.
LOl. Yeah I guess it wouldn’t be worth it to sit through the whole thing just for some simulated dykery. I’m sure adult sites will upload the relevant scenes. ;d
“Do you really think that advertising dildos on tv is appropriate?”
I don’t care if they do or not. I don’t watch those channels anyway, and I would especially avoid those channels if I had kids with me.
But I would rather not restrict someone else’s freedoms, so that’s where we differ in our views.
“And don’t every suppose to know what I want society to be.”
Get over yourself. You’ve already expressed your opinion on what society should be — at least with regard to this issue. Otherwise there would be nothing to discuss.
“Oh,get a grip man.Do you really think that advertising dildos on tv is appropriate?
And don’t every suppose to know what I want society to be.”
Maybe I am getting old and mellow but I don’t think it is. I think it is ranchy and racy.
“What adult hasn’t already seen Star Wars at least ten times already? “
I have one better for you. What adult does not have a at least one copy of Star Wars on Betamax somewhere around the house?
I agree with you.The idiot I was argueing with apparently thinks there should be no standards or guidelines.He’s a fool.
