The Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood has asked both the FCC and FTC to take steps to stop ads that target children with commercials for movies with violent content (see the attached file for the CCFC comments to the FCC).

We applaud these efforts.  One of the most consistent comments we hear is parent's frustration about commercial content.  Even if they work hard to select a program they believe is appropriate for their children, they are often subjected to inappropriate commercials for violent films and video games, Viagra and beer.

Thats why we believe that TV viewers need to be given the power to block TV ads just as they can use the V-Chip to block unwanted program content.  Doesn't it just make sense?

  This constant barrage of violence being thrown at our children every day is not a plus for a healthy mind or actions in life. Anything will be accepted as "ok" if it never stops. No wonder our children are losing the concept of acceptable actions. Then, it moves on to teenage problems. Please listen and do the correct thing. Thank you
