Radio watershed ??

TalkieWalkie

When I was about 12 years old (now 30), they changed the name of the teenage mutant ninja turtles to Hero tutrles (in Ireland) because "Ninja" was to violent a word.
What has happened since ?
The radio now is crammed with sexual and drug innuendo, it's seems the more of this, they more popular the tune.
I have a 6 year old daughter and am almost afraid to turn the radio on in the car for fear of Rihanna's new tune coming on, call me a prude but I dont want my daughter going to school singing..

Come here rude boy, boy
Can you get it up
Come here rude boy, boy
Is you big enough
Take it, take it
Baby, baby
Take it, take it
Love me, love me

Tonight
I'mma let you be the captain
Tonight
I'mma let you do your thing, yeah
Tonight
I'mma let you be a rider
Giddy up
Giddy up
Giddy up, babe.

Obviously this is one of many many of these kinda songs repeated on the radio day after day after day.

I Think there should be a watershed for this kinda thing.

Back me up here..

don't really listen to the radio anymore with kids in the car after Ray Darcy consistently has sexual referenced content and has used expletives numerous times.. when he said the word 'prick' a few months ago it was the final straw... its not as if he has to use such language but then again he probably thinks that its edgy and its whats being said on the street amongst the people so its appropriate. imbecile if you ask me...

just saw the video, so that is rihannaa...catchy tune too, but for kids?? no i dont think so.
its rated R by itunes, is that restricted? surely a radio station would have to be responsible about when it plays it??
what is to be done about it though, this is the music that sells. i hate to think that this music would influence the younger generation(teens), but that seems to be the way the world and society is going-complete breakdown in respect, values etc and we are all too busy trying to make ends meet, make a pile more money to do anything about it.
What can one person/group/nation do to stop the effects and changes taking place due to the sudden onslaught of multi media?
do we want to do anything?
Is this just society evolving?

getting back to the point, i think you had a valid one, there are tunes out there that are not for the ears of young children!



p.s.by the way they were always teenage mutant ninja turtles...heroes in a half shell!! turtle power!

Hey, how would you explain to your 6yo what a presenter was talking about when he said he had given up **** for Lent.
This was at 2.12 yesterday afternoon on a station aimed at kids (and some would say run by kids, but not me:D).

Thanks for the reply but I stand by my turtle knowledge


It was changed because "NINJA" was to violent a word .

EDIT :

Rated R means you need to be accompanied by an adult, unless you're over 17 years old. This is because the movie may contain nudity, offensive language, drugs, sexual activity and etc.

It's stands for restricted, In movies and music.

To Add, Rhianna's album is called... Rated R. What a coincidence.

BAAH it's nothing new , no worse than this timeless classic.

Relax don't do it
When you want to to go to it
Relax don't do it
When you want to come
Relax don't do it
When you want to suck to it
Relax don't do it
When you want to come
Come-oh oh oh


Ban it and it obtains cult status, leave it alone and in a few weeks it'll disappear into oblivion.
