"Girls Gone Wild" during anime...?

[Mr. Graves]

Ok, so every Friday night on the International Channel they broadcast Tenchi Muyo and every monday they show Liscensed By Royality. Just so you know, these anime shows show very little, if anything at all, that would be considered 'inappropriate' for young children. (Heck, Tenchi is perfect for 6-12 yearolds.) But, during commercial breaks, they advertise two videos that, I would guess, features strong nudity and near-pornographic imagery. Now, I probably can't post the site here, but I don't if it's an actual porno, or just a comedy spoof. (For those not in the know, Doug Stanhope from The Man Show is in it.)

I won't go into much detail except that it advertises full-frontal nudity (censored in the commercial), and crude sexual humor. So....

Why is a commercial like this being shown during an innocent anime program where little kids are probably watching it unsupervised? What do you, personally, think of this? Also, have any of you actually seen this commercial?

Who doesn't know what Girls Gone Wild is?

And no it's not a comedy spoof. It's a video which is basically a camera crew that goes out and persuades real women to take thier tops off. Recently they've gotten celebrities to star in them, such as Snoop Dogg and Doug Stanthope. There's about fifteen video tapes, and they've been making them for a good five years now. I'm surprised you haven't heard of this until now.

They show the commercial here all the time, usually late night.


And from what I remember about the two times I've seen Tenchi Muyo, there were parts with nuidity.

[Resha]

Yup, Tenchi Muyo does.

[crono_logical]

You're probably seeing the censored version of Tenchi Muyo, the original has rather too many nude scenes in to my liking

[MecaKane]

Only sexual deviants watch anime.
Right, Spiff?

[Starcrest]

yeah GGW is on all the time in the states, mostly around midnight to 4A.M.ish, and i like anime...and what's the show called?

[nik0tine]

Im fine with companies advertising that kind os material any time they like, no matter who is watching. If they are gonna advertise that to children they simply won't profit. Period. We don't need bullsh*t like the FCC to decide what is best for me and you.

[Shlup]

Tenchi doesn't have very much nudity, and when it does they have "Barbie bodies" (no nipples, pubic hair, etc).

Girls Gone Wild commercials are on every damn channel though. GGW videos are indeed porn. Some of them are just them giving girls booze until they're drunk enough to show their breats, but others are highly pornographic.

If I were you I'd write a letter to this "International Channel" and complain, depending on how the channel rates Tenchi. Does Tenchi have a TV rating on that channel? I think here it's rated as Y7 (suitible for children around age 7), and if I saw porn commercials in the middle of that I'd be pissed.

[TheAbominatrix]

It really just depends. I think the international channels grab at whatever advertisizing money they can get. Graves, you said it's on 'Friday night'. How late?

[Starcrest]

the barby body takes place of alot of anime porn things if u think about it like there's this one show Banner of The Stars and Crest of The Stars i.e.

[XxSephirothxX]

I see those commercials on Comedy Central all the time, and they're really quite annoying. They're so degrading, cheap, and downright stupid, I find it extremely agitating to see them two or three times a day!

[Fuzakeru]

The Girls Gone Wild commercials are everywhere. :rolleyes2
And Tenchi has nudity but like Shlup-ster said, it's all nipple-less and such. Off topic: I actually enjoyed watching both Tenchi movies.

[TasteyPies]

Barney and friends is sponsered by, the blonde sluts series!

Untill I see something that drastic I don't realy think its TOO out of hand. Its pretty stupid of the movie makers though.

As long as its not hardcore lil kids don't wont care/understand/remember/bother asking about it. Just my opinion.

[Agent Proto]

International Channel... isn't that cable?

Well, looking at the website, TenchiMUYO is on at 11:00 PM so that's late at night when most children are sleeping.

GGW is retarded, and I can't believe people pay money for a glorified peep show....
