We're intertwining a few different topics here. We've been focusing on the appropriateness of the campaign, but I think the real issue underlying this argument has been about controlling what children are seeing.
Different parents are sensitive to different things. I was not sensitive to my kids being exposed to swearing, but I was sensitive to the amount of violence that is allowed in commercials in day-time tv. Whether or not this campaign is inappropriate (we have a difference of opinion here) it just isn't practical for a parent to expect society to protect their children from everything they find objectionable or age-inappropriate, because not everyone has the same definition of objectionable. The default pages aren't static and there will be different messages and suggestions on them from time to time. Separately from which parents are comfortable with what, if someone wants to be in control of what their children see, they can change the default home page and the default new tab page.
