Why you can trust SCMP

Am I the only person who wonders why it is not okay to show PG and R rated films until 9.30pm, but it is okay to show promos for them in the morning? I have endeavoured to watch the Olympics in the morning with my four-year-old daughter, but I spend more time trying to explain scenes of gunfire, explosions, rape and stabbings in TVB's promotional ads for The Crow, Raw Deal, Robocop, etc, than I do explaining what heats are and what sportsmanship is.

It seems to me that the ads, if they must run in the morning, should be edited for family viewing, especially in light of the fact that children are not in school at this time of the year.
