Clinton asked the FTC and the U.S. Dept. of Justice to undertake a study of whether the movie, music recording, and computer and video game industries market and advertise products with violent content to youngsters. He raised 2 specific questions: Do the industries promote products they themselves acknowledge warrant parental caution in venues where children make up a substantial percentage of the audience? And are these ads intended to attract children and teenagers? This report by the FTC shows that for all 3 segments of the entertainment industry, the answers are plainly "yes."
