Tuesday: Ha! Everything that is important makes them grouchy. Good thing they will hopefully not be so powerful in a couple months. I know I'm certainly going to do MY part to make sure they aren't.

(V): Too stupid when there are much more important things to deal with. I don't like seeing bright red in commercials. Shall the Senate take that up too? Please, you just want to debate everything.
Thema: Re:they have time to bother with stupid stuff like that?
(V): No, I wouldn't say so. I tend to take a more "old fashioned" view on what our Federal govt is supposed to do. As the founders intended, it is supposed to be very limited. This is NOT something the federal government should be concerned with. State? MAYBE, but even then. This is something that could be straightened out with the people on our OWN level. NOT by wasting my tax money. If they ONLY dealt with things that they were INTENDED to deal with, they could possibly do a better job at THOSE things. (I doubt it though. Anything the federal government butts into, they mess up and do it non-economically)
Thema: Re:his is NOT something the federal government should be concerned with.
(V): NO, and that's EXACTLY the point. The constitution had NOTHING about anything as silly as that, because it's not supposed to insert itself into such matters.
Doesn't need to be legal either. People could stop doing business with the offending parties. Money talks.

rod03801: So being as it's not there either way on TV and radio, it's just an opinion that it's not supposed to "insert itself into such matters." .. But then again.. ain't you guys in the USA had rules on things that can be shown on TV, especially regarding sex, foul language and Saturday morning TV?
Which implies that the gov does have some right.
As for money talks. Please.. we are talking about companies that were happy to use subliminal messaging in adverts... is that still legal?
