The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board
(MTRCB) has been so strict when it comes to implementing policies with regards
to rating and observing daily tv programs to the point of suspending
individuals/celebrities who had become verbally offensive in hosting noontime
shows. I hope that they can STAND on it at all cost. And this really needs attention.
I hope that the teasers too must be regulated. I noticed that our satellite cable tv
provider (among the giants in the industry), has been negligent in airing
teasers sensitive to viewer’s age.
I was shocked to find out that the cable tv provider’s
own channel is showing adult content (petting) on their teasers to entice
adults to subscribe for additional channels.
It is understandable that the movie is R18 but without notice it
suddenly appears as commercial in channels like Colours (it is possible that it is shown on other channels too) – that my children also watch because of the cooking and
design shows. Maybe it is about time
that the Regulatory Board should take care of such leniency – continuous airing
might STIR curiosity to young minds and might become bad influence on them.
I do hope that this LITTLE COMPLAINT must be given due and
immediate attention so as not to compromise our children’s virtues. This will also prove the MTRCB’s integrity
when it comes to rules and regulations implementation. The commercials are popping-out instantly
without a way for the adult audiences to control unlike the airing of the movie
itself, we can, by locking channel or
sitting beside them if the story has moral lessons and we are thankfully guided
by the ratings you provide. But those
teasers, I do not think that the agency has been completely watchful because of
this little BUT huge THREAT to children’s innocence.
