In recent weeks, both George W. Bush and Al Gore have stepped up their attacks against the entertainment industry for marketing violent and sexual content to young people. What do you think?

"I let my son see that Porky's movie back when he was an impressionable teenager, and now he has sex all the time."
Michelle Wilens,

"If Gore wants to be critical of Hollywood, he needs to stop accepting all those guest spots on The Practice."

"Remember that one scene in the Gulf War, where the Iraqi dude gets his head blown off and the brain chunks splatter all over his screaming wife? That was awesome."
Frederick Meese,
Systems Analyst
"Some say those pro-wrestling shows go too far, but my son just loves rooting for 'The Wifebeater' and 'Superkike.' It's the only TV that keeps him quiet."
Len Buice,

"Not all kids want to see sex and violence on TV, you know. My brother, for example, loves violence, whereas I much prefer the sex."
Curt Dawkins,
Network Administrator
"We must clean up the airwaves and make them safe for children! Oh, and I suppose we could do that to the actual streets of the nation, as well."
