Hmmm...one of these looks out of place, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
For heaven's sake, though, don't read Chaucer or Rabelais. What you saw on TV wouldn't even touch what you might read in some of the world's enduring literature.
Certainly dont let Webber let his kids read the Bible. There is all kinds of smut in there. The sluts (er daughters) that get their father drunk and sleep with him. What about all the prostitutes? Seems most of the women in the Bible were hookers.
Where I am from, an act performed by anyone other than a veterinarian, (especially a prostitute) extracting semen from a horse, is referred to as bestiality.
Many folks here refer to not letting your kids watch this stuff. Fine. But were you exposed to the amount of smut on TV as a child that children are today? Did it hurt you to NOT be exposed to this?
People on this site commonly rant about unwed mothers, absentee fathers, and the social burden thereof, but aren't willing to be inconvenienced in their prurience to lessen some of the emphasis in the media on casual, irresponisble, or even deviate sex.
It isn't a question of turning it off, it has become a question of just how much crap we can have in our culture before you can't step anywhere without stepping in it.
