How do I explain this advert to my 7 year old? It is barely 100 yards from our front door.
Totally Calum Best MTV poster advert
If there is stuff on the news about celebrities and their relationships on the news, I can explain it as a boyfriend/girlfriend type thing without the need to discuss what they may or may get up to, but this is a bit different as there is purely about sex.
You can see more info on the MTV site. Pretty poor TV by all accounts, but why the advertising stuck in our faces?

As a parent, I am not sure what I would say to my children. Depending on the age of my child I would probably try and talk about how messed up the world is and why we need Jesus.

I completely agree. It is getting kind of crazy out here with all the racy TV ads. The thing I find most difficult is the music on the radios/videos. They are so accessible to kids and many times children sing songs and have no clue what the lyrics are saying. There are songs about “Threesomes” and more things out there. It is a constant struggle to keep that type of stuff away from my kids.

It is truly hard to answer but the truth remains the truth. Let’s just tell the children that some people choose to do bad things, and God doesn’t like it. And that we will pray that they will be changed by God’s grace to conform with God’s will and that they will stop doing the bad things that they do.

TV now is so crazy. They don’t seem to care what the children watch.

Pretty Pathetic.. I’m generally against vandalism, but I would be tempted to ‘accidentally’ carpet tape the entire poster..

I think trying to explain something like that to a kid that age may be difficult. I think the child may learn quicker and more accurately how you feel, and what it is by watching your reaction to it.
