My ears are burning. I wonder why?

Lol. It wasn't a slam. I certainly qualify. I hope I didn't seem harsh to the OP. He's probably just not familiar with the channel. However, I think my juxtaposition with the Playboy channel describes it perfectly. Both are entirely adult channels by design, so no one should ever expect family friendly viewing.

Yes, you are right. I didn’t know Spike was like that.

But even so, forget about banning or regulating anything, my argument was for simple common decency.

Imagine yourself as the advertising director. Just as a normal person, especially a parent, if Trojan came to you and said they want to advertise sex products on Christmas morning during a movie popular with children, wouldn’t you, just as a human being, say, “You know, that might not be appropriate.” You’ll get a lot more sales by advertising in a primarily adult time-slot with primarily adult programming.

What about all the kids watching this stuff unsupervised. They just don’t need to be exposed to this stuff. It is inappropriate for the time and the program.

It is the loss of common decency that I protest. They shouldn’t have to be forced not to put this stuff on early Saturday morning. They should just know.

But it is true that I did not know the vulgar reputation of the channel. It is already on parental block.
