I believe that showing any commercial that is totally inappropriate for children (erectile dysfunction/alcohol/prescription drugs/etc.)...should not be allowed.
Children, Adolescents, and Advertising | FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS | Pediatrics
Quote:
What is increasingly apparent is the discrepancy between the abundance of advertising of products for erectile dysfunction (ED) (between January and October, 2004, drug companies spent $343 million advertising Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis) and the lack of advertising for birth control products or emergency contraceptives on the major TV networks.
This is despite the fact that 2 national polls have found that a majority of Americans favor the advertising of birth control on TV. Ads for ED drugs give children and teens inappropriate messages about sex and sexuality at a time when they are not being taught well in school sex education programs.
Research has definitively found that giving teenagers increased access to birth control through advertising does not make them sexually active at a younger age
