This is what's wrong with the enertainment industry, and our society. Unbelievably gory, violently obscene movies, shows and commercials, portraying sadistic torture, maiming and killing, are percieved as more acceptable than nudity. I have three children between the ages of 4 and 8. I promise everyone, it is easier to explain sex and nudity to children than the senseless violence portrayed every day in the media. TV commercials showing shocking scenes from movies (even this one) pop up in the middle of a prime time MLB game that I'm watching with my boys. There is no way to anticipate it. It needs to be stopped. I quote….”(minus the nudity, hence the PG-13 rating)”. This is what’s wrong with the enertainment industry, and our society.

I'm an old guy, and some of my happy moments when I was in high school were at a drive-in movie watching those old "B" horror movies like "Them", "It Came From Outer Space", while drinkin' beer (underage, of course), and stuffin' down the pizza. They don't have to be believable, just entertaining. I think it’s great!
