Bad news for the CONSPIRACY:

[A]ccording to the FTC, industry standards aren't keeping ads for violent content out of media popular with teens. Movie studios have moved to limit advertising to media in which no more than 35% of the audience is younger than 17, but ads for movies such as "Crash," "Waist Deep" and "Slither" still get through, the report said. The FTC found ads for R-rated movies on websites where half the audience was younger than 17.

The music industry, which has rejected the FTC's urgings to rate music by age, continues to advertise music with parental-advisory warnings on websites that reach a substantial percentage of children younger than 17, the report said. The video-game industry doesn't allow M-rated games to be advertised on websites where more than 45% of the audience is younger than 17, but that hasn't stopped many marketers, according to the FTC.


Also,

90 percent of R-rated movie ads were placed on Web sites where children under 17 made up at least one third of the audience.

Sen. ROCKEFELLER!
