Buying Into Sexy: The Sexing Up Of Tweens
CBC, January 9th 2005
http://www.cbc.ca/consumers/market/f...exy/index.html

I was surfing on the site of CBC when I encountered this article. It's from a television programm broadcasted at CBC. It was an interesting read, not unfamiliar to me, although it even seems to me that things have changed in the last years. When I was 12 (6 years ago) sex was not as a big issue for us than for 12-year olds anno 2005 it seems. What is your opinion about this? Do you think this has gone too far, or not?

Western Attitudes should be divided into 3 difernt areas.
Europe, Canada and America.

Sex is open and fairly Liberal in Europe. Canada is moving up quick.

America has its head in the sand. They make it sound dirty, sinful etc. Bush wants abstinence in the classrooms. whatever.

Some of the stuff you see on City TV (baby blue movies) and shows like Osbourne's and Sopranos and even "Cold Squad" not ( cold case) the American FCC would have a fit. Imagine nudity on Broadcast channels in Prime time.We have them. USA does not, but do on "cable" down there. After the stink of "nipplegate" during last years Superbowl that FCC has become more paranoid than ever.

Then we have cable with shows as "Kink" "My first time" "sex files" "Trailer Boys"etc on the likes of Bravo and Showcase.

I may despise the CR-TC at times but it is a hell of a lot better than the American FCC. We dont have censorship like they do in America. The "F" word and like are common on the news now. I even heard a newscaster when he was quoting someone say "son of a bitch". It was not shocking and we don't have people protesting in the street that we have no morals.

This society is full of ... hypocrisy. God forbid we saw Janet Jackson's boob, but it's OK to use sex to sell to kids.

There's also responsability that lies with parent(s). I still believe that influence of one's family is stronger then the society's.

As soon as they start asking, Rick. We knew how it worked growing up...you kind of catch onto these things on the farm. It was no secret at all that Grandpa made the cows pregnant. (he was the AI tech for the area)
