I share the dismay of social conservatives at our media culture [View All]

I was idly spinning the clicker last night for a few minutes. On MTV there were a bunch of people licking each otehr. On VH1 there were a bunch of people letching and making crude jokes. Back to MTV, some guy was watching a writhing stripper at his bachelors party. Then some moron crashing a van....Back to VH1, someone was saying "and there was a lot of sucking and smooching going on"...On to Spike TV, where they were making a lot of crotch jokes and fart jokes...Then to WWF on UPN where one guy was choking anotehr with a chain.

And on and on through a literal HELL of stupidity, crudeness, vulgarity, meanness, macho idiocy, female bimbodom.....

By "coincidence," all of these channels are owned by Viacom. But Viacom is not the worst offender. ALL of the major media have turned into pimps and panderers to the worst in human nature.

Now I'm no prude. I like to see erotic stuff, tell dirty tasteless jokes and all the rest.

But what has happened to the media landscape is beyond the pale. It is as though Clockwork Orange is no longer fiction.

These bastards who run the media are beyoinbd shameless. They are destroying the fabric of society, I really mean that. Watch MTV and it is not simply good-natured adolescent hi-jinks. It is mean, nasty, stupid and vulgar....Even the MTV of four years ago was relatively tame by comparison.

Cable TV has become a Psychotic Wasteland of Dark, Dirty and Dangerous values. It almost made me want to vomit to think that this is what our culture has come to.
