This law has potentially even more implications than just stopping Girls Gone Wild commercials. This law could easily be used to target just about anything the nanny state doesn't like its kids seeing.

Most famous for one pornography trial in the seventies and the first criminal prosecution of distributing pornography though a computer network. The Feds just love those Memphis juries. Don't forget the law preventing the teaching of evolution for 43 years. After that law was repealed, another put in place to say you can only teach evolution as a theory and not fact. It is not Democrats or Republicans, it is the Tennesseans. This is place where they arrested students in the sixties for cohabitation. This proposal of Senator Jackson is no surprise to me. I grew up in Tennessee and have watched the bible belt's influence on politics. This is Tennessee.

I'm shocked that this legislation is coming from such a freedom loving party. Doug,

Guess what? When I see them, I turn the channel. I have never thought about outlawing something cause I disapprove. I know, they will say "children should not see these ads", Ahh, yes, maybe you should take on some parental responsibility? And if the "children" have a computer and internet access, guess what? They have seen a lot more than these ads, and we are not banning the internet, yet anyway. I am sure Sen. Jackson is a “Deacon” or some other ridiculous “pretend” position in his church and thinks this is ant-Christian to show these ads, even though killing and bombing seems to be welcome in most Christian religions these days. You know the “religion” card is behind this, and I make no apologies for bringing it up. That’s the way is these days. I despise those ads, and yes, they are on satellite also. Guess what?

I wonder if Mr Jackson considered calling his cable company to protest the ads? Called the programs being shown at the time the ads were made? Or did he just decide to resort to violence first as is implied by his statement? Incidentally, I loathe those ads. Thank God for the fast forward feature on the DVR.
