Where are the moral leaders? Any civic leaders who would speak to what's desirable for the general populations healthy mental and social customs. Where are they? You think, how retro? But enough is enough. I read today of a TV reality show called "Killer Karaoke" .It is the latest TV reality show in an ever spiraling downward "entertainment" offering. It is offered by TruTV. The master of ceremonies is one Steve-O .Briefly this particular segment reported a big titty preachers daughter ( there was a photo ) in a transparent tank of water singing "Take on Me". But wait , there's more. She's sharing the tank with baby alligators and snakes who are wondering what they deserved to get themselves in this place.Yuck. Another segment featured another "singer" getting squished and smeared with sweat by a couple of obese men in sumo-style underpants.Yuck. Yuck.
Does any politician want to go on record about what he/she thinks about this kind of TV? Does the National Education Association want to make a statement that its teachers warn students about the hazards of trash TV ? Or is that too elitist? Do the pols and teachers want to think about it a little longer? Do they want to take a poll? Will their negative statement offend anyone ?
Well I say, the participants , the MC and the audience both in the studio and at home should have their breeding ability revoked surgically or chemically. Next comes the pols and teachers who should be similarly impaired if they don't speak up and be counted as one who objects..

TV in Americathe is like the New Testament: to be continued... its value measured in its ability to pass false sentiment and disinformation is unmeasurable. TV is the cornerstone of western sensationalism, consumerism and christian fascism. Rarely ever is it used to promote rational ideals, especially if those ideas dont begin with some kind of warrior persona or a sexually sadist hedonist alienating type of overtone..
kindof.
