Junk food ad ban attacked

The plans were attacked from all sides, with health campaigners claiming they lacked conviction and would have little effect on children’s eating habits. Broadcasters and advertisers said they were too draconian, warning that a projected £39m advertising deficit would put the future of UK-produced children’s programming under threat.

when is the war on junk food coming to the US?

Family Values Film Criticism

Recently, when trying to find out about films I’ve wanted to rent, I’ve forgone the usual paganistic blogs, flesh-worshiping review sites, upside-down crucifix-wearing DVD listing books and also IMDB.com (which I’ve heard eats aborted human fetuses). I’ve cleansed my palate, and opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking when it comes to the art of film, while using the ChildCare Action Project: Christian Analysis of American Culture (CAP) movie review database. With it’s highly detailed reviews of 100s of titles, it’s a refreshingly different look at every movie I’ve ever loved. The key? It filters every title through it’s biblical-based value rating system and “society influence density” scoring chart while it theorizes, theorizes, theorizes away about how almost every movie is just plain wrong, wrong, wrong. It’s all some of the most refreshing film criticism I’ve ever read

ah the culture wars. too funny
