Movies and TV Fed up with Cartoon Network and other networks

I'm freaking pissed!

I just had to deal with an upset 3 year old and an older one full of questions. Why?

Because Cartoon network just aired a spot for nip tuck at 9:30am on Sunday morning while they are watching Tom and Jerry's Nutcracker Holiday Special. WTF?!?! What the hell is wrong with these people. It's bad enough that Adult Swim is based on east coast time, so I have to make sure the kids don't have Cartoon Network on before 7am because they might see spots for Blood+, Metalocalypse, or something else along those lines.

It's just like CBS showing all the CSI spots during football games. I have to keep a finger on the remote at all times unless I want my 3 year old introduced to pictures of dead bodies, strong sexual innuendo, and backdrops of flowing blood and gore stained weapons.

I'm no big fan of censorship, but seriously can't we just have something that makes sure commercials are appropriate for the age range of a shows target audience? The V chip stuff only blocks based on program content, but they can shove anything they want down the pipe for a commerical at any time.
