Have you who are protesting ignorance and shock at Nader's phrase been watching MTV? Try a little dose of that, especially during their Spring Break beach parties, and put yourself in loco parentis to an 11-year-old. "Corporate pornography directed at children" is a precise definition of this exploitative atrocity. (And please don't spout back the MTV party line that their target audience is 18-34. BS. It's 8-22.)

I'm a believer in the First Amendment, even for businesses, but I like the idea of criticizing MTV and its cousins, and of funding public media to create alternatives to corporate media.
