You're joking....right? Jeordam Send a noteboard - 20/01/2011 09:58:58 PM
Diaper commercials show baby butts all the time. I think that if it's going to be a big deal for "Skins" to show teen butt, then diaper companies should quit showing baby butt.


Its all about intent. A diaper commercial's intent is not to get someone all riled up...or help some sick guy get off. The intent is to sell diapers.

Have we, as a society, come so far as to be cavallier about actual teens behaving in such a way as to be *actually* destructive to their lives? And this is entertainment? Sure, they are acting...or are they just playing out for a camera what they do in their personal life?

Maybe I sound prudish...but I voicing my thoughts here. Not last week, if not a bit before that, there was a post about people here being ok with sex with dead bodies or incest . There was all sorts of "concent issues" or some such. People, lets be for real.... sex with a dead body . No one finds this disturbing and is willing to say so? And that anyone who wants to do this is maybe screwed up in the head?

And here we have a TV show about teens not just behaving badly, but glorifying it....and then we're quibbling about age of concent and baby diaper commercials?

I find the idea that a 17-yearold is covered by child porn laws strange Camilla - 20/01/2011 03:44:46 PM 416 Views
Age of consent varies state by state, but 18 is he cutoff for other things nationally beetnemesis - 20/01/2011 05:25:09 PM 374 Views
I think 18 is the cut-off for child porn in most places, regardless of the age of consent. *NM* Legolas - 20/01/2011 08:26:30 PM 163 Views

In fairness, there are other considerations than just what turns pedophiles on. Legolas - 20/01/2011 08:35:45 PM 401 Views
Yes, better safe than sorry, imo Darth_Katie - 20/01/2011 10:31:13 PM 387 Views

I don't think it's necessarily a scandal Brian - 21/01/2011 01:48:27 AM 438 Views
Why's that an issue? j-whitt987 - 20/01/2011 09:17:53 PM 401 Views
Also a fair point. *NM* Camilla - 20/01/2011 09:56:46 PM 154 Views

Ha, those points about reality tv are spot on. Darth_Katie - 20/01/2011 11:18:27 PM 433 Views
That's not fair. Chas - 21/01/2011 08:30:35 PM 420 Views
The British version aired on BBC America. It has the same scene. Nothing happened. *NM* Chas - 21/01/2011 01:30:10 AM 151 Views
Bah. Nevermind. The actors were all 18 or over. *NM* Chas - 21/01/2011 08:29:02 PM 150 Views
Who watches this stuff, anyway? *NM* Zalis - 24/01/2011 04:01:08 PM 145 Views
