TV And Your Brain

CNN is running a "What has TV become" kind of segment and I thought I'd comment on it as it's a part of our culture.

Now, I've seen the episode that they are directly speaking of.  Here it is for you all:

Now, I won't ruin it for you, but it is quite entertaining, at least to me it was.

But let's not forget that 50 years ago, people thought Rock and Roll was the Devil's music and that teenagers were going to run wild and have promiscuous sex.  It didn't happen.

So here we are, much later on, and the entertainment is admittedly much raunchier, but the basic premise exists: One man's entertainment, is another man's debauchery.

You can always turn the TV off, or change the channel.  And until people realize that, you're always going to have people who want to regulate what you and I watch and use the piss poor excuse of "won't someone think of the children"?  What they fail to realize also, is that the people who SHOULD be thinking of the children are their parents, and no one else.
