Those boys from Akron were onto something.
Western civilization isn’t progressing. It’s devolving. Even the music is degenerate, and I’m not simply talking about the crude lyrics. This generation is culturally spent. They’re nihilists. Even the humor. The vast majority of “entertainment” these days revolves around bodily functions, including sex. Sorry, but pee pee ca-ca isn’t really funny beyond grade school. Sadly, I think they intend to go even lower. That doesn’t mean I have to help fund it.

It’s cyclical, actually. Over thousands of years, things have improved, then regressed, then improved again.
Probably was ever thus - we gross ourselves out, the angels of our better nature take over, and then we forget and fall back into old patterns of behavior.
Nobody liked totalitarianism under the Soviets, however doing the same thing in the US doesn’t seem to bother anyone. Obama is about to declare himself King this week, and again, do you see a GOPe person say anything about it?
“...The vast majority of “entertainment” these days revolves around bodily functions...”
The once almost shocking campfire scene in BLAZING SADDLES is now the type of humor they have on Disney channel and other kiddie shows.
“Sadly, I think they intend to go even lower.”
Agree. Bestiality will be probably be the next popular trend since it’s the only perversion the “entertainment” industry and it’s millions of fans hasn’t embraced.
