Bad Commercials For Children
11 Comments
I wanted to blog about this but I often forget. I am very frustrated with our local TV channels β NTV7, 8TV and TV3 are all guilty of it. Very often during a commercial break, you will find horror tv ads, horror movie ads or violence shows ads pop on. It really frightened the children. Worst is, sometimes these bad commercials come up in between a cartoon program break. It is horrifying.
The cartoon is U rated which means it is suitable for children. However the commercials in between are not U rated and definitely not suited for children. Donβt you really hate that?!!
I had to quickly switched channels so that my children will not see the horror stuff on TV. Now I cannot leave them alone it watching any TV programs without supervision. Any way I can complain about this?
Universal rating states that it is for general viewing and should not contain material that may evoke fear or concern, no violence, no sexual acts, no language, no drug abuse, no nudity. Rate the commercials too! Malaysia TV, please adhere to this for our children sake!

Oh? When the horror/violence movie ads are on, Des will just leave her seat or turn her head away and do something else and it is I who will watch what time the show will be on or what the show will be about. But usually I’ll let Des watch the Disney Channel from Astro and I noticed there are no such horror/violence ads during the breaks, so it’s okay (heehee).

Good idea! Get the commercials rated as well. Reading this reminds me of an incident where one of my aunt purposely showed a scary clip on her hp to my son. The clip is meant to scare people one sommo…I really angry when i found out.

That’s why I never turned on the TV for the kids, they only watch DVDs or VCDs I bought.
Even Astro, I don’t bother installing.
