A publicist — who is also a mother — is fed up with Hollywood’s exploitation of sex. Rather than remain silent, she recently penned an epic blog post lampooning the entertainment industry and calling for Tinseltown and society, alike, to come to its moral senses.
It all started last week as Rebeca Seitz of Naples, Florida, was enjoying some morning television. As commercials began to air, she could hardly believe her eyes. While she was watching “Good Morning America,” an advertisement for the ABC show “Betrayal” came on, featuring a male and female in the midst of a steamy sex scene. The commercial for the show was apparently graphic, exposing her 8-year-old son to extremely unpalatable content.
Here’s the image she captured and posted on her blog:
Seitz, a Christian, reacted to the scene by sending her son away, rewinding to be sure her eyes didn’t deceive her and snapping a picture on her phone. She then uploaded the image to Facebook, where it was ironically taken down for violating the social network’s standards (someone reported it and it was deemed “inappropriate due to nudity”).
The frustrated mother, who works in media and is the president of a public relations firm, posted the picture in an effort to spark a conversation about morality and standards — and to voice her frustration and disbelief. When the Facebook post was removed, a friend suggested she take to her blog to document what unfolded, so she did.

When I visit my parents, my father in particular being a huge television addict (which I am not), we call that practice as "having bank".
We "Bank" time on the DVR by pausing a show at the beginning and then going and doing something productive (like watch kitty videos... which my Old Man is also a Cat Fancier, so that works) for 20 minutes... come back, and we are golden. I basically don't watch Television, and don't own a set, but I am just tired of the constant barrage of stupid advertising... advertising prescription phamaceuticals like Valtrex on the TV? Really? Isn't that up you your effing DOCTOR?
"Hey, Doc, I was watching O'Reilly the other night and you know, they had this ad and all the people in the commercial were happy and beautiful and the guys had really attractive women hanging on their arm. I am tired of being in this rut and depressed, Doc... I want to be younger looking, handsome, happy, and have a hot babe on my arm, too! You gotta get me a scrip for this Valtrex stuff... it looks like a wonder drug to me!"
Ouch. That hurt.
ABC = gAyBC
“It’a amazing to me that during the World Series, they show ads for Cialis over and over again.”
Not really. The Cialis ad execs probably figure the kind of people who actually find baseball exciting are more likely to be impotent than the general population, and the need for repeating the ads is because of the probable intelligence levels of baseball fans in general. :-) :-) :-)
It’a amazing to me that during the World Series, they show ads for Cialis over and over again.
They think they are just working the baseball theme, you know “Batter UP!”
I try not to watch live network TV, that way I can skip through all the incontinence, impotence, hormone issue, monthly “woman” problem, etc.
“It is a medical fact that kid under the age of puberty simply cannot deal with mental images of any kind of sex (normal/marital or deviant)”
So does that mean that all Eskimo children have been permanently damaged for thousands of years, since the whole family lives in a single tiny room?
BTW, I’d love to review some the scientific evidence regarding this “medical fact”.
Here's a thought; don't watch the anti-American commie propaganda networks.
That I couldn’t say-I haven’t watched any network TV for years, except for local area news if there is weather that bears watching-otherwise, I watch what I pay money for-DirecTV...
Great... Another soccer mom who is mad because she can’t free-range her kids and plant them in front of the tee vee all day to keep them occupied. This same broad will be boo-hooing ten years from now when after letting those kids run around loose and start drinking and getting high and expect the government to make up for her lazy parenting practices.
Talk Radio’s full of “male enhancement supplements” ads, all day long. I have a mute button on my keyboard, and mute all of the crappy TR ads.
The ads are bad enough; but that tuneless 50s garage-band guitar music is just revolting. I guess they think it will appeal to old guys. I wouldn't want to have sex with someone who finds that music sexy.

Could be worse! On the Starz series Spartacus (not the movie)there was a rather hot orgy scene! It really caught the eyes! Once they had you watching, they cut to two queers kissing and engaging in homo sex.
Thankfully, I never watched the show, but did catch these scenes while channel surfing.
What is seen cannot be unseen, even if you tear your eyes out!
Good for her, glad to know that there is “someone” willing to take on Hollywood. Most people just complain from their couches and do nothing.
