Yes, just as pornography and real sex are very, very far apart.

Here in the Bible Belt anyway, parents seem to have unlimited tolerance for violence in the media but no tolerance for sex/nudity (where kids are concernted) - even the relatively rare portrayals of healthy physical relationships.

My niece was very upset one time about a scene in a movie, a woman was blown away in a tornado, but before she was ripped out of view, the tornado tore away her clothes revealing a naked body beneath and that was very upsetting to her. I asked her how she felt about the woman's death and she said "oh, that part was OK". So I asker her point blank if she'd rather see a violent death or naked woman and she opted for the death.

... so it must work ... and yet I don't seem to feel anything immediately after watching a Taco Bell commercial.
