In Spanish, "no hablo ingles" means "I don't speak English."
This is, of course, presuming that the above comment isn't a joke. I don't know, maybe the parent was scared of using Google to search for the whole phrase?
Yeah, there are still CD singles around -- usually with the hit song then a "B-side" (despite there not being another side...) or two, generally some random track that didn't make the album but that the artist felt like releasing anyway. They usually cost anywhere from two to five dollars and are hard as hell to find most of the time.
Most record stores just plain don't carry the things, though; you've got to find a big, good store if you want any chance of getting them (usually a Tower or Virgin records'll have a section devoted to singles...). It's kind of sad.
Question here. When you were a little kid, did YOU like seeing romantic interaction on-screen? I distinctly recall me and my friends going "ewwww!" if a couple so much as kissed in a movie. Not because we'd been taught it was wrong, but because at that age, it just seemed weird.
And I really wish I knew why so many childless Slashdotters think they're the ultimate authority on childrearing...
Paying for cable, TV services, etc makes one a customer. Watching ads makes one a customer, as television companies sell ad time to make money.
If you're not watching TV (and thus the ads), the ad-makers don't have any reason to buy ad time. Thus, TV companies lose money. Tahdah!
Not saying they don't need to figure out some other way around that, though...

"Oh, I know, let's make a blue skin and a pink one! That'll satisfy all the boys and girls out there!" ???
You'd have to be able to think for that!
You know, I think this post is kind of lame too, but how is it "overrated" if it hasn't got any other moderation?
Oh wait...
I mean, after all, we've got ... uh ... BBC America! So take that!

I'm guessing the parent was referring to fashion shows featuring _women_, who are oft in skimpy clothes. Just a hunch.
