Weight Watchers, Discovery Channel TRASH
For all of you who do not have any kids yet: Call me a prude, call me old-fashioned I really do not care. But, one day you will find out just how difficult it is to protect your children from all the garbage being thrown into their faces every day from Govt. educators and corporate advertising. It comes from every direction laced with political propaganda and/or adult subliminal content. O.K. I can handle it! But I do not believe that this commercial needs to be on in the middle of the day ESPECIALLY during a children’s program. Just what are they trying to accomplish? You just cannot possibly protect them from everything I know, but ill be damned if I ever decide to give into it especially if is coming into my house. You have to pick you battles…….
This is a letter that I sent to the “Discovery Channel” and all of their affiliates. I sent a similar one to “Weight Watchers”.
Dear Sir,
Yes, I would very much like to tell you what I think. Generally, I like the Discovery and Animal Planet channels especially for my three little girls (8,6 and 5). Fantastic cinematography and programming! They are a “great” alternative from all the garbage that my kids could be watching if we were to let them. My wife and I DO pay close attention to all the programming (though limited) that is "allowed" for their viewing.
Today, not 10 min. ago, I happened to turn on Animal Planet only to see a commercial for “Weight Watchers”. This is where a woman looses her dress falling face down on to an elevator floor. CLEARLY, this woman IS NOT wearing any underwear and my kids got a very CLEAR visual of this. Have YOU people gone insane???? I really would hate to have to place a LOCK on both the Discovery and Animal Planet channels because we like them so very much. BUT, I WILL IF I YOU FORCE ME TOO.
I am sure that this problem can be taken care of “digitally” without having to forfeit an advertising contract with “Weight Watchers”. For the time being, I will NOT allow my children to watch your programming until I hear from you about this situation.
Respectfully,
