The AP is a source for late breaking, critical news that informs the American citizen about events they may not be aware of, but need to know about. Today we have a classice example of this important, up to the minute information service provided by the AP:

Study Says There Is More Sex on TV By JENNIFER C. KERR, Associated Press Writer

There were nearly 3,800 scenes with sexual content spotted in more than 1,100 shows researchers studied, up from about 1,900 such scenes in 1998, the first year of the Kaiser Family Foundation survey.

How does one get paid to sit around and watch gratuitous sex scenes on TV? Everyone with kids realizes it is harder and harder to watch anything not G rated with kids in the room – with out having to do the emergency channel flip. While violence is the number one problem, sex scenes are not close behind. Of course, you can always get the double whammy scene that folds both into a some bizarre representation of Hollywood’s view of reality.
