A violent beginning

I just watched a block of commercials, featuring:

*One partygoer throwing a rock at the head of another partygoer for the last Budweiser.

*A car accident, played to comic effect, to advertise Doritos.

*A rabbit and a hamster roundly abusing a mouse, in the name of Blockbuster.

Ouch.

How come no one worries about the violence in some of these ads?" Murder is entertainment", was one of the ads. Shootings, hitting isn't this suppose to be a family show?
