My opinion on whether it should be on TV or not is pretty straight forward. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it…predictable I know, but then, as the article suggested, it’s a subject that’s done to death anyway. A controversy about a TV show only reminds us how dependant on TV we are…something I find pretty depressing.
In a perfect world, controversy wouldn’t be about content, it would be about substance. I object morally to Big Brother because it’s trash. Why do we never hear a public outcry about a show because of how stupid it is? Isn’t that more dangerous to our youth, the potential to have them grow up to accept mindless mediocrity as entertainment? We shouldn’t worry about sexuality, because we’re all sexual creatures. We should, however, worry about moronic TV shows, because we’re not all morons.
In short, Wesley is totally right in suggesting we needn’t bother talking about it at all, if for no other reason than there’s much more important things to talk about. We’re better than this, so let’s not waste our time.
