I know what you mean. Although the kid on the show isn't all that young at this point.

Along those lines, in 2009 a movie came out, based on a comic book, the title of which was referred to by one of the stars as "Kick Butt". The star in question was 12-years-old. She played a character who was 11. The language in the movie was truly the worst I've heard in a movie (maybe I'm sheltered). But a 12-year-old actress using the c-word? And the other c-word? And the f-word? In between slashing a few dozen bad guys to death with various knives? With glee and abandon?

The entertainment business is trying to normalize a lot of stuff which is not normal. Society pays a price for that sort of thing.

Glad I’ve been away from mainstream entertainment for 35 years or so.

Hollywood is attempting to sexual-ize and politicize everything. It marginalizes everything else. Calling good evil and evil good.

Charlie Sheen will probably become Hollywood’s patron saint, if he lives long enough.

God help us.
