Parents, what do you say to your little kids when an ad for local stip club shows up on tv?

Wow, advertising rates must be dirt cheap for a strip club to be able to afford an Ad during a baseball game.

Not sure I've ever seen a strip club advertised on a broadcast like that, especially on TBS. That's like something from cables early days.

Interesting you bring that up.

Its a little bit like the advertising of hard alcohol on this site when maybe 50% of your audience is under the drinking age. Being a noted site of influence in the running community what moral standards are observed or are grey areas allowed?

The advertising on this site is based on your internet viewing habits. Letsrun doesn't choose the advertisers, you do.

I gonna assume the commercial is only played after certain hours. If that is the case, your kids will more than likely be in bed. Mine are in bed by 7:30 at the latest. Sleep is really lacking in too many people today.

Or strip clubs make a ton of money...

In the case of young children (not exactly sure where the cutoff is but probably under 10) it's not so much that sex is a taboo it's that (in my view, looking back on my experience of that age) it doesn't mean much until you experience sexual desire yourself.

"Watch carefully, Honey. This is why it is so important to study hard and work hard."

Equally applicable to both genders.

Exactly the point, revenue is derived by the site from the so called non chosen ads and guess what there is not an age component. The site can choose what it uses and not.

Rojo,

There are two ways to handle this:

(1) In honest forthright simple language you can answer the question but don't provide more information than requested. Keep a relaxed supportive mood.

or

(2) Immediately nonverbally show that the questions creates tension and then give a quick dismissive abrupt answer such as, "They are just dancers" which indicates that you don't want anymore questions of that nature.

Of course #2 is the best approach. The sooner kids learn what not to ask the sooner you won't have to be bothered by awkward questions.

That's what I was thinking. Move out of the hood Rojo. I live out in Aberdeen so we should have the same lineup but I don't have cable. I do free over the air and Sling TV and Netflix. I never see those types of commercials on the local channels.

Go easy on Baltimore people. As people pointed out, every other ad on tv is for Viagra.

You want me to move back to Texas? Dallas is like the strip club capital of the world.

The ad was on TBS. I don't think it has anything to do with Baltimore. If anyone is to blame it's comcast xfinity. I've seen them in other places.

Yes I have a DVR people but i like to watch live sports.

Rojo,

Unless you think Ithaca is in Texas (which I know you don't) I think you misread my post. My post implied raising kids anywhere in Texas would be a horrible idea...a point which you apparently agree with. Texas is on par with Baltimore in regards to places where no one should raise kids.

There are lots of nice places in Texas. Texas is a large state.

In Baltimore city...there are not a lot of nice places.

I think Rojo should move to White Marsh or Middle River or Bel Air.

If we get around to moving off post we'll end up in one of those places.

Speaking of Texas though....there's a chance we might end up in Fort Hood within 12-18mo. Killeen is pretty sketchy.
