Innuendos

Do you ever remember a time when you saw commercials that were good ole clean humor WITHOUT sexual innuendos? I must say it has been years. Two come to my mind right away: 1)Joe's Crab Shack's new one advertising their lobster bucket when the man tells the gal "Take your top off, take your top off", then of course he takes the top off of her lobster bucket. My daughter is 7 and caught on to that one!! 2) Quiznos advertising their new toasted sandwich, when the oven is speaking to the cook saying "put it in me, as well as the "size" of the sandwich later on in the commercial. COME ON, did they really have to go there??

Also, how about the new children's animated movies that are coming out? Don't get me wrong, most of them are really good, but you can definitely hear the adult humor they are trying to portray. Again, you have to wake up pretty early in the morning to pull a fast one on my daughter. I always tell myself she is too smart for her own good!

Maybe at times I am being "prude", but when I was younger movies and commercials were just as funny without having to take it to that level. Maybe I'm longing for a more simpler time, but I fear more things will be allowed in the years to come, which means it can only get worse. I just hope we can clean up our act for our innocent children....they shouldn't be subjected to this at such a young age, and for that reason, Ivy is limited to how much t.v. she can watch and what she can watch. I even went as far as taking her t.v. out of her bedroom so that I could better control what she lays her pretty little eyes on! That may be a little harsh, but I don't care. It's not like I took her t.v. privileges away completely!
