Inappropriate Roku Channel Ad

Playing smurfs on Roku channel for my 4 year old and they aired a commercial showing monsters. Pretty sure it was a paramount plus commercial. #fcc #paramountplus #rokuchannel

Re: Inappropriate Roku Channel Ad

I was recently watching an episode of the 80's drama "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" with my 13 year-old daughter.   I realize that ads exist and I am willing to accept that.   Ads for laundry detergent and other basic things is fine.  But twice now, we have seen ads come up that were quite inappropriate for an otherwise family friendly show.   These ads were for both male and female pubic hair removal products, showing graphic depictions of such removal.   Give me a break, can't we do better than this?   It will make me remove the channel if this cannot be filtered.   You get $$ from us watching ads, so it is in your best interest to make sure we are willing to do so.

We watch Roku a lot and have seen a very degrading and offensive commercial Flaming Hot Cheetos FU university REALY. Why don’t you tell everyone FU. Oh wait the Black actor already dose. What are you teaching our youth today. TAKE THIS COMMERCIAL OFF THE AIR.
