DOMINATING THE SKYLINE  ON  THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY NEAR CANBERRA


LONG LASTING SEX ISN'T THE ISSUE, IT IS THE EXPLICIT ADULT RADIO ADVERTISEMENTS DURING THE DAY, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MEN, DO YOU WANT TO LAST LONGER IN THE BEDROOM?"

"MEN, DO YOU WANT LONGER LASTING SEX?"

How often did you heard those words on the radio and cringed?

If you find them offensive, what about your 6-year old child? 

Parents or grandparents picking up children from school should not have to fend off questions about "premature ejaculation" or "erectile dysfunction"

.................................................................................................................................................

What do our elected leaders think of this style of advertising?

I emailed (three times) all 150 Federal Ministers and them for their opinion on the "Lasting longer in the bedroom" ads.

How did your local Federal member respond?

Should adult advertising be broadcast only during adult hours and  be banned from billboards just like cigarette advertising?

I thought an email an from our responsible leaders  could have been sent to the minister in charge of media regulations Senator Conroy along these lines:

" Hi Stephen,
We've had a bloke pestering us about those "lasting longer in the bedroom" ads, could you get someone to have a look at them, to see if the
 wording can be made more "child friendly," or at least get them on after hours."
I wasn't asking for the ads to be banned, but to be only on radio at adult times.

 Maybe this product is a con see article Sun Herald 24 May 09
 


Other people (apart from most Politicians) also share my concerns about inappropriate advertising., as
on 4/1/09 an article appeared in The Daily Telegraph titled "ADVERTISEMENTS about a beaver, pizza and male impotence have topped the list of the commercials we hate."

There was a billboard  on a pedestrian bridge across the Princes Highway at Gymea that was mentioned in the Leader



ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


                                                                         Mr David Penberthy                  

Today 21/04/09  the ex editor of the Daily Telegrah Mr David Penberthy had this article in the paper and he also thinks that todays advertising crosses the line.


Ossther people ther people(apart from most politicians) agree with my concerns about inappropriatadvertising......................................................................................................................,.........................



Mr Luke Simkins member for Cowan
    thinks that the nasal delivery ads are wrong to be on radio during the day and made this known in this speech    Page 9989 Hansard 22/10/08


Guess who?*

For people would show such delight in been seen and photographed with children, it was mystifying that so few had an opinion on this affront to the welfare of youngsters.


                                                              Member for Bennalong McKew MP
       The Hon Maxine McKew MP. Parliamentary Secretary for Early Childhood Education and Child Care. 


A couple of examples  of how my email on this  issue were handled.





The Family First  Senator  Steve Fielding  (pictured) who used "family" and family values to get elected, doesn't seem to care about the children in the "family" part of his election winning party name.



                                                                                Rev.Nile

Other Church and community leaders such as Rev.Fred Nile, (who also appears to be too busy to reply)  and the Governor General were also  contacted for comment..

Why don't our "leaders" have (or aren't they allowed to have) an opinion?
 
Update..  Finally the billboards have been banned, or have they, and something  new  at Gymea.

* The  Honorable member for Wentworth, Mr Malcom Turnbull who (or his office), didn't reply to any my 3 emails.

Sadly it seems that adult ads for children is also OK in the opposition camp.
