urluckyday Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Hello. I was recently watching TV and was flipping through channels. I went through the channels and I stopped when I saw Obi-Wan Kenobi from an ad. The thing was, the channel was Nickelodeon. Ok, so I know that there are kids that are over 13 that watch that show, but mostly I know that younger kids about 7-11 usually watch that. Do you think it is a good idea to advertise a movie that most kids watching probably won't be able to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastila Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Its a 12A in the UK, so most kids over 10 will see it but with there parents, but the TV ad is mostly advertisted on every channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Kids these days love violence. Believe it or not, those 7-11 year olds are a large percentage of the kids playing GTA because they think it's "Cool". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I dont know what rating its being given in australia..... my understanding of our PG rating is that if you are under 13 you need to be accompanied by an adult, so theoretically those 7-11 yo kids can go I loved SW from age 5ish, if my parents didnt take me to watch ROTJ when I was 9 I wouldve been very sad ! My stepkids are old so I dont have to worry about this, but if I had a younger child who was really into SW, I would think carefully about taking them. Itd be interesting to hear what old Mike thinks on this, as he is one of the few around here that has young-uns mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Besides, how many kids under 13 go to the movies without a parent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but when a gun is pointed at them or they see someone shot, they still freak the hell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu7 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well I dont think it's a bad idea to advertise for SW on Nickelodeon, because as Astrotoy, most kids have seen Star Wars, I was born way after the 1st SW came out, but I've been watching them since I was a little kid.

Astrotoy7 Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 its interesting thaqt rots was given an m 15 rating here in oz. Although, technically parents can still take their 7yo to see ROTS, many wont be due to this rating... Chase, many parents are truly concerned about what their kids see on TV, movies and in games... its a really hard thing to deal with..... and Im really glad I dont have young kids mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
