Interesting Article On Show From Parents Council
| ||
Thanks to Flwrgurl25 for this interesting letter from the PTC My mom is part of the Parents Television Council and this is what she recently got regarding Roswell: "Roswell" Becoming More Alien to a Family Audience? PTC members may recall that when "Roswell" debuted on the WB, the PTC gave it a green light and promoted it as family-friendly. In its second season, Roswell introduced more foul language, more sexual content, and more violence—prompting the PTC to revise its assessment of the series and give it a yellow-light rating. Unfortunately, the October 30 season premiere on UPN indicated that "Roswell" may continue to move further away from its family-friendly roots. The short opening sequence of the episode shows a man sitting in a stopped car. A woman’s head rises into the frame, clearly suggesting that she had been performing oral sex on the man. The woman gets out of the car to light a cigarette and sees a flash of light. When she approaches the car again, the man’s charred remains are shown. “Roswell” used to be a show the entire family could watch together, but this kind of graphic content is inappropriate and unnecessary for any age group. Take action and call the advertisers listed below; ask them to stop sponsoring this kind of vulgarity and unnecessary violence. Best Buy Co., Inc. Bristol Myers Squibb Co. |
