My 9 and 5 yr old boys have shared the summer obsession for Indy. (Even the Wii game is an E10+ rating!) I will respond to the links above about the marketing to children...enough voices...may change things! My husband and I were watching the same Indy you were talking about and I had to leave the room at the heart scene, I was done with it. We looked at each other stunned and really had to think about why we thought it was going to be okay for the kids. Advertising perhaps, combined with "all my friends have seen it" and one must take an unpopular stand sometimes. Thanks for putting voice to a shared concern...just found your site today...great work. Now if I could just get the batteries out of the Indy whip he got for his birthday to end the endless repetition of the theme song..... Just had this conversation with a friend!

It's our job to say "No" but it's not easy to get out from under the avalanche. Why do they advertise these movies on nickelodeon during shows geared at kids under 7? I also read they are advertising an Indiana Jones Burger King tie-in for a burger meal with an absurd number of calories: http://www.sustainweb.org/news.php?id=217 @bronnie You’re right.
