Television commercials are voluntarily rated by the networks.There is a constant stream of commercials that are vilolent or contain other images innapropriate for children aired during shows that are approved for young children and family viewing. These overwhelming images are detrimental to the mental heath of our children. We are petiitoning for the creation of a television commercial monitoring board mandated by the government to insure that all television commercials are rated in conformity with the current television rating system and that commercials can only be aired on programs that match (or are lower than) the rating of the televison commercial.
In addiiton, sports shows also need to be rated for this purpose (commercials on boxing would carry a different rating than baseball)
