I'm sure most children have scattered and/or piled their stuffed animals in their rooms somewhere and some may have fallen into the "positions" in which they are on the poster.Question is, would a "little kiddie" really understand what the animals are "doing" in the poster? And if they do, then the problem is not the poster, but rather at home. Adults think like adults. They look at the poster and see sex. Kids look at the poster and see stuffed animals. Same with foul language. Once a child is taught that a word is "bad" and finds out it has shock value, they will use it. On the other hand, when someone accidentally slips up and says "F--K" within young ears' reach, that word probably means as much to that child as "rectifier" or "dolby digital." Personally, I would display it just to see what sort of complaints (if any) I would get. =TMP=

I came up with a different approach to bad words where my kids are involved. The idea came up when I was trying to explain why my six year old girl cant have some of my beer.I explained that this kind of drink is an Adult Drink, and when she is old enough, she can have some too. But it is too dangerous for the body of a small child. She accepted this and so I took it a bit further. Mostly because she was picking up on mine and her mom's swearing problems. I explained that certain words are adult words, and that children get into a lot of trouble when they use them, but adults only get looked at funny. The words really shouldnt be used and that if she hears a word from me or her mom that even she can't use, it's wrong and she can slap our hands. My hands hurt a lot at first, but it worked. She does of course not slap anyone else, but just understands that she shouldn't use the words. I never worry about her hearing the words, or see something. She is innocent, as most kids really are. We really shouldn't be so afraid of them seeing the world. If we deal with it right, they will to. Dave

Chad, It appears that you are not very well versed in political science because I can cite at least three examples proving that you got your facts backward but the Film Tech forum is not a place to talk politics and I will not discuss the subject anymore and I hope everyone will also do the same. Although I was just trying to be funny, I realize now that it was wrong to make a polital joke about the poster and I hope everyone will accept my apology. -Claude

Just for the record a conservative is one who adheres to traditional methods or views being cautious and discreet.A liberal is one who is open minded and not strict in the observance of traditional forms or ways. I guess I fall in the middle. poster in art house with adult oriented films is fine. in the mainstreem more caution is needed.

Claude, while I agree that the discussion of Politics is an unwritten no no here, although I find the humor of politcal satire is always good for a laugh.I studied the science of politics in college rather heavily, and learned much more about it all than most people would ever know, or care to know. It was after all my studies that I found that I prefer to not BE in any party, or behave in a way that labels me. Instead, I free think. It's rare, but there are a few of us out there, and I would hope that this site has a greater majority of them than the general population. Dave
