If they'd only keep their knees together while they're watching TV these things wouldn't happen.

I would say that "life imitates art" except TV is not art only garbage similar to hanging the toilette in the French art museum in 1918.

Geez first they say it rots Your brain Secondly they say it makes You go blind now they say that TV makes You pregnant. Lordy have mercy what next?? TV Makes You impotent and sterile??

Oy. No concept of correlation vs causation, huh?

Does watching racy TV makes kids more likely to get jiggy? Maybe Horny Kids are more likely to watch racy TV....

Without splitting the universe into two, there's no way to confirm that these kids wouldn't have gotten knocked up WITHOUT the TV programs.

correlation does not equal cause. That writer is an idiot.

Well, I think the article does make sense.

WOW Contradicted by a Woman twice in one day and it being the same Woman. Me think I am back in Grade School again. Oh well. When's recess??

Larry

LOL Larry

I'm speaking as a mom. I monitored what my kids watched, not allowing some shows to be viewed.

I think this study is accurate.

Lisa you are such a great source. If I recall you said people could OD on Marijuana.

I never said that.

You told some crazy story about how you worked some school dance and you walked into the bathroom and found a girl passed out and convulsing from smoking dope. I have the post in my archives.

My T.V. has a penis?

I'm calling bullshit!
I watched a LOT of TV as a teenager-and not ONCE did I get Pregnant......

And-sorry Lisa-but watching sexy TV shows COULDN'T possibly have made me any hornier than I was.
I was in 8th grade when mini-skirts were in-and a lot of the girls I knew wore them.
Unfortunately for me...all of them had the legs to pull it off-I spent an entire school year with an erection........

She was convulsing. We found a pipe.

We don't know if she was taking any other drugs along with smoking pot.

And I put no credibility in what you save. You have changed words in the past.

Please...enough already.

LOL Frank

Fair enough.

Lisa I am the truth machine.

We don't know if she was taking any other drugs along with smoking pot.

Hmmmm...ya THINK?

Lisa I am the truth machine.

You are a constant fraud and liar. No question about it.

Larry

The only way I could see anyone O.D.ing on pot-would be if they've never had any before-and first time out-smoke three or four joints.
Then they'd be more likely to just lay down and go to sleep.
(I has a WEEE bit of experience with marajihoochie...)

Gosh, I watch political shows because I enjoy politics. Could it be that people interested in sex watch sexy shows?

Apparently-they only get interested in sex after they've watched.....

when you see sex scenes on tv, with two beautiful people, just busting with lustful and athletic appetites....and they have that 'i want you so bad i could die' music. smoke a lttle pot, next thing you know, you're playing wooopty-doo. so what?

if they are old enough to play, the are old enough to accept the responsibility for it. at least that's what they should be taught. it ain't the tv's fault. there's a simple solution, if you must have sex and you must watch racey tv and you must smoke pot, then use some protection.

stop pretending that somehow teenagers are not gonna have sex (or at least want to) just because you think all that stopped after you were a teenager.

And here I thought teens got pregnant by having unprotected sex. Time to adjust abstinence education to encourage destroying the TV.

Why are libs in denial of "life imitating art"? Isn't it obvious that we are influenced by TV advertizing for example? What are libs afraid of?

"Study: TV Makes Teens Pregnant"

This is True!

But those sean hannity books had nothin' to do with that guy shootin' libruuls!

Someone has been drinking too much leaded moonshine.

"Those who saw the most necking, flirting, touching, sexual conversation and sex scenes on TV during that period of time were twice as likely to become pregnant or make their partner pregnant than those who saw the least."

Not that I disagree with the conclusion of the study but how did they verify which kids saw the most or least "necking, flirting, touching, sexual conversation and sex scenes"? If they relied on TV logs or recollections of the kids or their parents for the study the finding is more conjecture than fact.

I'm putting a condom over my TV, just in case...

Funny--I thought it was watching Johnny Carson after a couple of drinky poohs...'o)

I'm putting a condom over my TV, just in case..

Careful! Some of them have "Whip" antennae.........

Does my television have a 10 inch cock in it too?

so now we must ban TV.

so when will evolution do its job and eliminate reproductive organs from certain people? i mean really.

"stop pretending that somehow teenagers are not gonna have sex (or at least want to) just because you think all that stopped after you were a teenager." ~lipzoidal

yes..yes.

also, lisa = palin, in disguise?

Why are libs in denial of "life imitating art"? Isn't it obvious that we are influenced by TV advertising for example? What are libs afraid of?

While statistics are not necessarily indicative of cause and effect, it is difficult not to see some kind of relationship between what images and ideas that we subject our minds to and how we in turn see the world and how we behave. How advertising works is excellent support for this proposition.

I am also reminded of the old programmers dictum-garbage in, garbage out.

Cheers

Have you ever noticed that it's difficult to play baseball or vounteer at the community center if you have your nose stuff in a TV?

Throw in a little weed and you have a self insulating bubble of do-nothing. Pretty much all you have energy for is getting a boner.

I personally like to get stoned and operate dangerous wood-working tools, but i wouldn't recommend that.
