With Hollywood violence becoming a major issue in the presidential campaign, the Business Journal asks: Do you think Hollywood should do a better job of keeping violent or sexually explicit material Sexually explicit material (video, photography, creative writing) presents sexual content without deliberately obscuring or censoring it.

While some shows are identified as "daytime TV shows", "daytime television" is not a genre per se. for violent video games See video game console. and music that is sexually explicit or of a violent nature. Right now you see a lot of advertisements on bus benches. The pictures look violent and sexually explicit. Kids sit on the bus while they go to school and it's right there in front of their face. I addition, I agree with the parental advisory stickers on video games and music. I don't believe it is censorship because you can still buy it. Parents should be advised that the music is violent. Paul Woodman Engineer Hill and Associates No, it is not Hollywood's responsibility to shield children from inappropriate material. I think that is up to the parents. They need to be the ones controlling what their children see. The problem is that parents don't care

It is the parents and the guardians that need to step up and not allow the kids to go to those kinds of movies. The parents can even see the movie first and check it out to see if it would be appropriate for their kids.
