<hr><P><b>Comments:</b></p>The amount of hard liquor advertising on &quot;family&quot; cable stations (TNT, USA, etc.) has increased dramatically.  Many of these ads are highly laced with direct sexual appeal or less than subtle sexual innuendo.  The warning to &quot;drink responsibly&quot; which appears in several of the ads is present in a mocking tone. Are there no limits on cable advertising?  At this stage I fully expect to see the return of cigarette ads in the near future. I would like to see some ad standards applied to the cable industry.  Thank you for your concern with these issues.
