"Fox is advertising a 'mature' show during American Idol"

Has there ever been any talk from the FCC regarding ratings on TV commercials? Fox is advertising a "mature" show during American Idol. It makes it difficult as a parent to do anything during a commercial break without turning the TV off first. You never know what is going to pop up. It would be nice if they rated commercials also and only allowed similar rated commercials during a similar rated show.

(Actually, that's a very common-sense idea. Unfortunately, the TV ratings are a joke because they are completely self-regulatory. Talk about the fox in the henhouse!--AB)
