Those I Survived commercials strike me as really inappropriate. One minute I'm watching something reasonably frivolous, the next there's a woman in closeup talking about the man abducting her, presumably for the purpose of rape. Could they tack a parental discretion warning on the front of the commercials or something? I shouldn't run the risk of someone's surprise graphic depiction of assault while trying to watch the Robin Williams biography show. i totally get that rape and assault are a surprise to the people they happen too, but it seems to me that randomly springing this stuff on me repeatedly while I'm eating is both disturbing and desensitizing.
