Comments on: Keira Knightley’s PSA Banned! http://www.lovebscott.com/2009/04/28/keiras-psa-banned/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:11:40 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Jen http://www.lovebscott.com/2009/04/28/keiras-psa-banned/#comment-173692 Jen Sun, 26 Jul 2009 05:00:12 +0000 http://www.lovebscott.com/?p=41568#comment-173692 The fact that it's "too much" is the POINT, people. Women are being beaten to death by their partners, and we're hear arguing that the PSA is too graphic. You can't close your eyes and make it go away. Raising awareness is the only way we can get close to reducing these deaths. And frankly, you see people getting shot/beaten/raped/mutilated on TV every single day. An ad showing the reality of abuse and showing how it needs to be STOPPED isn't going to cause problems. Ignoring the problem will. Keeping kids from seeing graphic content is the responsibility of the parents, if you don't want them exposed, turn off the TV. The fact that it’s “too much” is the POINT, people.

I would not want this shown on any tv screen. What if children saw it? We shouldn't use scare tactics to gain awareness. As a seventeen year old this is wayyyy too violent for tv even in America!

I can see why they banned it. However, that is a very effective commercial for people to see how serious Domestic Violence is. It gave me goosebumps. WOW! That is a lot! I can see why they banned it.

There's nothing in terms of violence here that you won't see on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or even Lost. It didn't need to be pulled. That was powerful, poignant and to the point.

Didn't nobody wanna take it serious until the Chris Brown/Rihanna conflict....where was this when Iverson beat his wife where there was proof and everything.....where was this when Christain Bale (the new batman) beat on his loved ones.....The sad thing is that even though this sends a powerful message, the problem is the picking and choosing of when to get on the bandwagon. Don't do it when it benefits you in the public eye but do it everyday and stop waiting for something big to happen for you to want to stand up and take stand okay domestic violence month was in February where ws all this awareness then and for the past 3 yrs.

There are children who grow up thinking this is normal, and too many of those children learn the faultiness of it too late in life, if ever. Too many little girls i have seen grow up getting things twisted because no one showed them another way. Now will this psa help people to be aware of it more? People already are, they just choose to turn a blind eye. I think it isnt too much for t.v.

However, it saddens me that on TV people can curse, show T&A, appear to be having sex, and show graphic violence, but something like this, made to awaken peoples consciousness, is banned!
