The Raciest Ads on the Web

whoever made this column is so stupid, of course 18 and over sites are going to be nc-17 material. WHAT KIND OF SUPER IDIOT THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE TOO RACY FOR 18 year olds. AND ALSO, AS long as there's no nudity, why is it racy at all!?!!? Just look at the polls. Whoever started this column should quit life.

I agree John. This article is sad.......

I believe that most people are too anal about what goes on T.V. or the computer. Take a look in your own homes, its worse and stop all this censorship. If adults and young alike don’t like what on T.V. or on there computers, block it or just change the channel; simple !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am a nudist ad are fine

i am nudist the ads are fine

Did you notice that it is all males that have commented on this article? Funny....
I think we should be anal about what goes on the T.V. and the computer! How much worse can we get when we have sites and shows like these available at any time? I don't think I should have to change the channel when I'm trying to watch something decent on T.V. I shouldn't have to worry about what kind of sexual content I'm going to be bombarded with just by switching channels or visiting a website. I shouldn't have to worry about what sexual content my children are being exposed to either! These sites need to go.

Things on tv are getting harder and harder to edit from kids. It's sad that parents are made to feel uncomfortable when their kids are with them and a Victoria's Secret commercial comes on. Kids are growing up too fast. What's the hurry. Slow down. It's no wonder girls are wearing makeup and pushup bras and short skirts at such a young age. It's being pushed on them and parents can't monitor all of the General television shows and commercials that they watch. So sad. And unnecessary.

"d" get off your fat ass, stop watching TV. take your kids out to play. then tell me you have something to complain about...

if you still MUST complain about SOMETHING just because...

do us all a favor and go play in traffic. your kids too. retardation is genetic. and you cant fix stupid.

Well for those who think its not racy has just proven there is NO morals any more. Let me see girls and guys with butt cheaks sticking out hum nothing wrong with that as long as they are not totaly nude. Jane Russel eat your heart out. Does any body remember how it was not proper to show personal items on tv you had to place them over your cloting. Not today the more you show the better the pervs like it but gosh sex sells right? Wonder why this country is full of sickos? TD

DECENCY IS DECENCY JUST SHOWS YOU THE DIRECTION THE WORLD IS HEADED TO THE TOILET

Um, Teresa, last time I checked this was 2007 NOT 1907. Get a grip! Why is it that the people that preach the loudest with supposedly "high morals" are the the first ones to throw stones in a glass house?

Ok D if you have to worry what your kids are watching pop in a f*ckin barney tape and move on. And the way girls are acting isn't the t.v's fault. If anything its the parents. The parents who are to afraid to tell their kids no because they're afraid that they'll hate you. Or the parents who wont simply give the child a "spanking" because its abuse. That is why kids are messed up. It isnt the t.v or society its the parents that let them run free like little idiots.

First of all, I will put forth that I am an 18 year old male and people will assume right away that I have no morals or an unbiased opinion on this matter.

Are these ads too racey? No. Are these ads too racey for children? Absolutely. There is no way to keep your child from everything on the internet or the media.

So what is the solution? Pull there eyes away from the screen. I personally do not like television at all. They come out with all these channels and still the only good and entertaining content I can find are on the History, Discovery, Food, and Travel Channels.

The T.V. is not your babysitter. Get your children into art, into games, into constructive things. Put some sort of effort into keeping your children occupied. If all else fails and they must have their eyes glued to a screen... Get them age appropriate video games. Stop sitting them in front of the TV and computer screens before you decide to go out and criticize everything.

Most channels that show these commercials as well are airing content that isn't appropriate for children anyway. Do you see these commercials on Cartoon Network or Nickelodian? I think not.

I am 70 years young and i don't mind looking at the nude or almost ads on tv. If there is anything i don't like i can always change the tv to another show. No big deal.

For those of you who think everything is too racy...GROW UP. IF you dont like it, dont look at it and let the rest of us enjoy them.

I'm a girl, in high school, and I agree that saying 18+ sites are "too racy" is ridiculous. Isn't that why they're 18+?

On the other hand, ads that come up on completely unrelated sites can be a little too much. Racey Victoria's Secret ads don't belong on myspace, in my opinion.

I didn't see anything wrong with the American Apparel ad that they showed here, but some of the others I've seen show a lot of skin. That's OK if those kinds of posters are going to be in their store or catalog, but not giant-sized on the outside of the store for anyone to see.

It's completely possible to advertise their clothes without their models' boobs and buttcheeks hanging out.

It is tragic that Americans are too conservative to appreciate the human body, yet we fully endorse and encourage violence. Violence does not have to be a part of life. Sex and nudity are a part of life. I believe if adults rallied against violence (in film, on TV and in real-world situations) and supported sexual independence, nudity and intimacy, etc. our children will benefit in the long run.

I agree with you, Teresa and kgrecco2.
Guess what? I hardly watch tv anymore because I am so fed up with all the garbage. And, I don't have children - I was making the point that I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY about what is on the television (or computer) for myself or my children (to come). What will it be like then?
I do believe society is shaped by what we expose ourselves to through the media in general. Teresa made a good point about how desensitized society has become and how our morals are non-existent.

I am a mother of two young daughters and I see nothing wrong with these adds. When my girls watch tv they are watching cartoons and you don't see adds like this on those chanels. I limit what they are allowed to watch. When they are on the computer I am right there with them so they are again not exposed to adds like this. If I am watching tv myself (and my children are not around) and adds like this come on it doesn't bother me a bit. If you are at work and caught looking at adds or sites like this on your computer then why were you browsing the web at work anyways? If we take adds like this off then we are just taking away more of our freedom by censorship. If you don't want to view this kind of stuff then don't.

haha...people, who say that it is okay to look at naked girls or to check out girls's "lady parts" and it is certainly okay what these ads suggest, probably go to strip clubs and watch porn all the time. most people don't have anything against strip clubs or porn or racy ads because most people like it. i mean...go have sex all you want and finger girls all you want. just hope that you dont get STD's or illegitimate children that you will abandon.
