There was a full page ad in the
paper that really caught my eye. It started with:
Teen sex is okay.
Parents are stupid.
Violence doesn't hurt.
Profanity is cool.
Morality doesn't mater.
... Just a few of
the lessons television
is teaching our children.
The ad asks for support of the PARENTS
TELEVISION COUNCIL in their efforts to convince advertisers to withdraw
their advertising dollars from programming which is damaging to our
children.
I will support them. One way I will do this
is by providing a link to their web site. Parents Television
Council The PTC
web site is a great resource for responsible parents.
I think that there is more than danger
to our children. I think that
"Adult" programs are misnamed. They are not aimed at mature
minds which seek substance, enlightenment and wholesome entertainment.
They are, in fact, aimed at the immature mind of those seeking instant
gratification and shallow diversion. This "immature"
programming seeks to enforce materialistic attitudes and the need to
justify an attitude of selfishness, greed and power.
I would hope that we would think about that
when we decide what to watch and when we think about purchasing the
products of the sponsors.

Our entertainment and
It's effect on our society.
I have long been
troubled by the trend of the entertainment media to disregard high moral
values and to promote instant gratification and selfish behavior as the
norm.
