The first time I saw a guy get mugged at school, I just turned my head. Worked like a charm. Suddenly, it wasn't happening.
Bad analogy.
If everyone turned the channel then nobody would be watching and this sort of programming would simply disappear. I don't think that is a good strategy for muggings. My turning the channel is simply my application of a boycott against Hollywood using vulgar language for it's shock value. That worked once or twice and it is now just boring and embarrasing.
