OMG

January 23rd 2011 17:43

Granted I come from the black and white era of TV. A time when watching a program was a family event—except of course for the nightly news which was reserved for parents after the kids were tucked neatly in their beds. But regular programming was, let's call it vanilla. I can't recall once being rushed out of the room due to "adult content". Although I was never allowed to watch "Laugh-In". Not a child of the 70's? Google it.

I am not a prude when it comes to sex and or violence on TV. That being said, I must admit I do have a problem with the language on some prime time shows which I watch with my grand kids. We've come a long way from child actors saying "Golly Gee", to nowadays where It seems that the youngest of children have no trouble using the phrase "Oh
My God"—that made me cringe a little just typing it.
I'm not saying bring back the antiquated "Gosh Darns", but for heavens sake—hey that's a good one—let's stop 6-year-olds from using the term OMG. If one of my own kids or grand kids said it they would be burping up soap.
Call me idealistic (please). I realize it's not something that is going to change anytime soon. So when I am watching a show with little ones and hear an OMG or LMAO, or a WTF, or the like, I will tell my kids when that actor kid gets home he's gonna get a mouth full of Ivory from his real mommy.
