"As evidenced
by our Top Ten Worst list, the PTC's work is far from finished.
The abundance of violent and vulgar programs - led by WWF Smackdown!--makes
it clear that networks and the advertisers who sponsor such programs,
continue to refuse to address the negative impact that this kind
of programming is having on our nation's children," said L. Brent
Bozell, Chairman of the PTC.
