A proposal that would ban late-night TV ads showing half-naked young women is advancing in the Senate — again.
The measure sponsored by Democratic Sen. Doug Jackson of Dickson failed the last two legislative sessions. But it passed the Senate Commerce Committee on Tuesday 8-0, with one abstention.
The companion bill is scheduled to be heard by the Criminal Practice and Procedure Subcommittee next week.
Unless you have a bill that addresses government waste, health care, jobs, infant mortality, etc. - you know, important things - don't bother. Spare us the ink and paper that has to be used to print crap like this.

Instead, how about banning commercials of violent TV shows during family programming. I'm not a prude by anymeans but I don't need my 6-year old seeing mutilated corpses, gunfire and torture scenes for CSI or 24 while we're watching a sporting event or some other (what should be) G-rated TV show.
I think these ads are much more damaging than seeing some woman's thonged butt anyday.
End rant.
