a significant percent of the media are fags.
90% of TV is trash. The producers make it because they know a lot people will watch anything.
“Robert Knight, director of CMI, pointed to television’s “seductive effect,” which makes a person less likely to believe his or her moral values are being affected.”
When one’s sensibilities are incessantly attacked channel after channel after channel upon a touch of “Power On”, one should if nothing else react logically with a touch of “Power Off”.
How in this World can anyone NOT discern the blatant degeneracy of moral values emminating from the screen?
Good post. I use the mute button, or change the channel when it becomes offensive, even on commercials. It would probably help to let your local station know that you change the channel, for program content or offensive commercials. They’re sensitive when it comes to their pocketbook, and may pass it on to the source.
this might be a stupid question, but... have you seen Kyle XY?!! it suddenly dawned on me that this character, having been incubated in a "chamber" and kept there for years... I am wondering if we are being set up by this show to accept cloning issues... any thoughts, anyone?
Your point being?

I don’t believe it. I KNOW it.
I have said, "The television is like a garbage disposal in reverse- you turn it on, and the contents of the sewer beneath your house comes pouring forth into your living room..."
The basic problem with virtually all the media is that it is a vehicle used to sell you something- it's driven by advertising, so it needs to get and hold your attention long enough that you will sit still for the ads that follow.
And what is the quickest way to do that?
Cheap sleaze.
Bright colors.
Tits, teeth, and asses.
Explosions and fire.
Lots of white noise.
Everybody on the screen moving around like they have Saint Vitus' Dance.
You must be a Simpsons fan.
Teeth?
I highly recommend scuttling the TV altogether. We now have a TV-free home, and we hardly miss it.
Yeah- ever notice how all the women have shark smiles? Lots of teeth...
Sorry, has to be done...
Oh, the shark, has pretty teeth, dear....and he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has MacHeath, babe.....and he keeps it, out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear....scarlet billows start to spread
Just a gloved hand, has MacHeath, babe..and he never shows a single drop of red
On the sidewalk...Sunday morning, commin’ down...lies a body oozin’ life
Someone’s sneakin’ ‘round the corner...could that someone be Mack the Knife?
(instrumental break)
There’s a tugboat....down by the river.....with a cement bag, hangin’ down
Oh, the cement’s just for weight, dear...five’ll get ya ten old Macky’s back in town
Ole Louie Miller disappeared, babe...after he withdrew all his cash
Now MacHeath spends like a sailor...could it be our boy’s...done somethin’ rash?
There’s Jenny Diver, and Sukey Tawdry..Miss Lotte Lenya, and ole Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky’s back in town
I said that line forms on the right, babe.....now that Macky’s back in town.
Thanks- I have not actually read those lyrics in years.
