Don't show trailers of adult films during prime time
January 30, 2009 Friday, 07:47 AM

ON THE first night of Chinese New Year, MediaCorp screened a movie, The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Due to its adult content, the show was screened at 10pm.

There is something to be said about the letter writer whose mind is ALWAYS thinking about sex. Anything that has 'relationship' is probably sexual innuendo to her.

Lobo_respawned,
It is not about the writer but the whole generation of 1-12 years old. Their minds are not matured enough to differentiate artistic movies from sex/ nude movies.

It is media's responsibility to ban these advertisements/ trailers from being shown from daytime to early evening, not parents'. It is parents' responsibility to screen shows with adult content from children if it is shown in the late night.

dear writer, it's your duty to explain it to your child. they will grow up one day. why be so protective? let them expose to more information and educate them since young.

I think the title is misleading. Doesn't 'adult films' mean pornographic films? The 40-Year Old Virgin is not a pornographic film.

I agree with Ms. Pang. The movie in question is sleazy and in bad taste. Its sad to see mediacorp so willing to expose its audience to such crap for a few bucks.

The solution is yourself. Really.

What I watch is 10 News, alas it also aired "ghostly, scary scene" when children are watching with me. So when commercial, I switch to cable channels. Easy with controllers, come back miss a few minutes nvm.

I had almost get out of the TV. Meaning, dun watch TV frequently for these reasons :
1. a programme is plague with commercials, good movie are sensored(simply cut short) to allow more time for commercial.

2. watching free TV waste time becos of 1.

3. U watch more, polling will show more viewaship - more commercial.

Try off the TV for a few nights, then u will get out of the habit. Then u see the electric bill - drop. BTW, LCD consumes more power then CRT tv (32" marginal, 37" above -definite). Wonder why shop dun tell you LCD save power ? (misrepresentation of fact).
