According to a report by the Senate Commerce Committee, there were even internal corporate plans to use Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H Clubs, and school newspapers to sell products that the industry itself judged suitable only for mature audiences. Pretty shabby, I'd say, but we all know that the bucks talk and nothing, not even our children, shall stand in the way of the bottom line. Congress and the entertainment industry have been knocking heads over how much exposure to violence is too much ever since Columbine stirred up demands for some sort of regulation. In other words, keep on cranking out the crap, but don't let the little kids know what's going on. Anyone who thinks that'll work has never spent any time around kids.
Garbage is garbage, no matter what the cost of creating it, peddling it, or going to see it.
The very idea of the entertainment industry assuming mature folks are even interested in their adult-rated droppings is offensive. Be honest, folks, the government is never going to solve the problem. They can regulate 'til the cows come home, but as long as there's money to be made, the entertainment industry, just like the kids they hope to captivate, is going to figure a way around the rules. This time, big brother can't do it for us. The job is ours.
