"Mona is an old hag.... "

Well, then I guess I am too because I find the constant barrage of vulgar, tasteless, adolescent and peurile entertainment/advertising (which seems to be aimed at not-particularly-intelligent 14 year old boys) to be depressing, to put it mildly. But it's just another brick in the wall.

I think you should take this debasement of the taste and morals of our young people more seriously. Some are being led into the lowest forms of behavior by the Pied Piper of sexually provocative entertainment. They should be protected from it, not encouraged to enjoy it.

I've worked in radio for about 30 years, been a major market production director and written/voiced/produced literally thousands of radio commercials, both local and nationally syndicated. And I specialize in humorous commercials. I've never done ads that rely on vulgarity, for two reasons:

1. It's too cheap and easy. I'm a paid professional; I should be able to come up with something more clever and creative than the scatalogical jokes you might hear in a junior high locker room.

2. No matter how funny they may be, they will offend some listeners, and you're not doing your client a service by alienating potential customers. I always say, the first priority is to sell the product, but priority #2 is not to actively drive customers away.

BTW, my nominee for the most disgusting commercial (even though it's not nearly as graphic as most) is the one for the diarrhea medicine where the guy is suddenly struck with an attack while he's in the hotel hot tub with two women and has to quickly rush out with his knees together. I may never get into another hotel hot tub.
