Check out a video targeting how adult-themed titles are displayed in retail, including newsagencies. The video was produced for National Children’s Day in the UK.
This is a contentious issue for retailers. We don;t control the regulations nor do we produce the product. Too often we don;t control whether we carry the product.
It is interesting to note that the video provides no evidence to support its claim that children need to be protected from the content.
It is also important to note that of all the reports commissioned and papers written, there is still little to no hard evidence that supports their belief.
Even the current conservative UK government shelved the report they commissioned because it made a range of recommendations that sought to “protect children” while at the same time admitting there was little to no evidence that supported idea that there was need to do so.
Lets hope these people never go for a walk along Bondi Beach – they may have a heart attack.
I do not necessarily agree with them. However, I found it a very well crafted and entertaning piece. It also leads one to believe the UK press is about noting else bar sex. I still had a very good laugh. I had never seen Pick Me Up in that light.
hope these mums dont let their kids on the net at home
