KIDS THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH TV SEX - UK
TWO-thirds of youngsters think there is too much sex on some TV programmes.

And many are cynical about raunchy pop videos made by stars such as Britney Spears - claiming they are a cover for lack of talent.

One 12-year-old boy said of Britney: "She's selling us her looks basically. I think she's not got anything between her ears - and her voice isn't that good either."

Eight hundred youngsters aged nine to 17 took part in the survey, mainly organised by TV watchdog groups.

Of those concerned by too much sex on screen, only 36 per cent stopped watching.

1. I hope the
Christian fundamentalists here don't exploit that statistic over there. The last thing they need is for some Jerry Falwell to show himself in London.

3. No kidding
A friend of mine who returned from Leeds not long ago told me about a show called "Dirty Sanchez" or "Nasty Sanchez," which is basically an uncensored Jackass, and it sounded pretty graphic. Guys running their nuts over spinning bicycle tires and the like. Not a pretty picture.

Not that I'm pro-censorship, mind you. Hell, I'd watch it. I love Jackass.
