We told you it was coming. The back story on Pete is available here.
This time around, Pete is back with his strongest message ever and is joined by eight porn stars and two 8-year old boys.
I have traveled the country with porn legend, Ron Jeremy, the one thing we do agree on is that pornography should not be seen by kids. Ron Jeremy says, “Porn is consenting adults having consenting sex for consenting adults to watch.” Ron has always said he will do whatever he can to help keep porn away from children.
THIS COMMERCIAL IS FOR PARENTS.
Ron enlisted the help of several friends from the pornography industry and XXXchurch enlisted former porn star Crissy and two 8-year old actors and a puppet named Pete to pull the commercial off.
Parents are clueless about what their kids are doing online. The commercial should bother any parent who watches it. I hope parents see these two young boys misspelling words on the computer and realize this happens everyday. Many parents are unaware of their children’s online activities and the security threats that surround those activities.
-The average age of someone finding porn online is 11.
-90% of 8-16 year olds have viewed porn online, most while doing homework.
-Sex and Porn are among the top 5 search terms for kids under 18.
-Only 3% of adult web sites require age verification.
-Fewer than half (48 percent) of U.S. parents set parental controls on their family computer.
Parents need to get educated and get control of what is going on in their homes. The campaign is a wake up call to parents that the internet makes a lousy babysitter and pornography is just a typo away.
