In the last couple of years, I have come to realize that Field & Stream magazine has changed their advertising to the point where a parent or grandparent might have difficulty explaining "male enhancement" to 5 and 6 year old learning to read. There might be a time and place for most everything but this takes the cake! Been a follower of this publication for many years and as a boy I sat with my dad and enjoyed the stories, pictures and the ads. We looked at knife ads, gun ads, coon dog ads, but never full page color ads for male enhancement. I raised 3 children and shared F&S with them but now when the grandsons come I wont be able to share the magazine as I did. I wrote a nice letter to F&S and explained my feelings and I would not renew my subscription if things don't become family friendly again. Hope I'm not the only one who feels we need to protect our little ones as long as we can.

same with ads on TV. It sucks to be eating dinner, watching the news and here comes an ad for feminine hygeine products. I usually mute the TV during as many commercials as I can

Just the ads the drug companies put out are bad enough, listing all the side effects and stuff. For some conditions, after listening to what may happen if you take the medicine I may just be inclined to suffer with the sickness!
