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.
