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 theiropinion on the"Lasting longer in the bedroom" ads.
How did your local Federal member respond?

Maybe it would have helped if I'd included a donation..

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.
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
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.

A couple ofexamples 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.

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 thebillboardshave 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.

Christian group demanding tougher rules on sex and violence on TV." http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/wrath-of-god-is-tvs-next-big-hit/story-e6freuy9-1225776182678
