Should they be held liable? After viewing a preview of a "R" rated movie, my 4 year old would no longer sleep in a bed by himself. What are they doing to our children?

Let me add, this commercial came on at 4:00 pm in the afternoon, while the kid was watching a cartoon. It is me sir, who wishes to protect innocent children from seeing stuff that scares a child so bad he starts wetting the bed at night.

I have wondered the same thing! We recently got DishNetwork and were watching afternoon tv when a commercial for an adult Pay-per-view show came on. The women were barely dressed and talking about things I don't want my 4 and 5 year olds to hear.
The shows and channel we were watching were not at all inappropriate for children either. One came on Animal Planet!! And of course there is a button right on the commercial to immediately switch to the channel offered.
Some of these scary movie previews are totally inappropriate. I think there should be a way to block Rated R previews. It isn't enough to warn you that it is coming on. There isn't always time to change the channel.The Grudge 2 preview scared my 4 old.
Things like that should only be shown late at night and definitely NOT on family channels.

I think those advertisements should be:
1. Able to be blocked out
2. On adult channels only
3. A warning that the ad might scare kids
4. Kids channels should have no scary ads
that's all i can think of
The world is getting crazy out there. Some of what we see in a PG-13 should be rated "R." In adds they show women behind steamed glass, (you only see there shadow of course but) every once in a while to advertise soap or something. That's what would be in a PG-13 movie. It's crazy, I know 7 year olds that watch rated "R" movies, it's nuts.

I agree with you. That new preview for the Grudge 2 is horrible.
My son doesn't watch TV, but sometimes it is on in the background. And although he is only 9 1/2 months old, I turn it off for fear it will scare the bejeesus out of him. . Who knows what stays in that little mind of his.
I agree with the fact that previews like those should be shown later at night.

Hmmmm.... did they show any nudity in the preview? any swearing? Then no. I don't think they should be. Now if they did any of the above then hell yea. they should.
