Jerry Springer anyone??

I hate the way the television and movies have become. Why do we need to see explicit sex? Do we watch the neighbors? No........well, I don't anyway. And, why do we need to see someone blown to bloody bits and pieces? How does this enhance our viewing enjoyment? And, television.......TOO many reality shows. Remember when we went to movies and watched TV as a ESCAPE? Today we have the horrors of the world and then the horrors of the movies. A friend of mine has the opinion that it is because AIDES has killed all the people with any imagination and creativity in the entertainment industry. I won't go that far, but good lord, something should be done.

God, the bible and Christianity are being trashed more and more, especially on television. We have the option to turn off the TV or change channels of course and I do. At the same time, the Quran is given reverence and protection.

There is a radio station in Detroit that does something they call The War of the Roses. I am waiting for someone to be beaten up or killed over it. Here is the premise.......someone has a problem with someone else. A girl thinks her boyfriend is cheating, etc. The DJs call the person and say they are a new florist and that if the person answers two questions she/he will get a dozen roses sent to anyone they want to for free. That way if the suspected person IS fooling around and sends the roses to someone else, they will be busted. Today a man called in to say that the nosy old woman who lives next door keeps telling him that several cars are always parked in his driveway while he was at work. He said that he and his wife had laughed about her being crazy etc. BUT, he was suspicious because he has called home during the day and gets no answer. So, the DJs called her and she sends the roses to her mother. The guy apologized and said he felt foolish. His wife was upset and a little defensive sounding. I thought she sounded like she was mad at being put on the spot on the radio, in her hometown. So, time passes and the DJs don't STOP. They have updates and play the recording of the call over and over. They talk by phone to the husband and report that he has not been able to reach his wife by phone. And, they are insinuating that she is lying and want people to call in and give their opinions. Can we say trash radio? The poor man is persuaded to call the radio station tomorrow to give them and the listening public an update. Lord help us. We are living in a Jerry Springer world.

Now, here is my question. What responsibility does the radio station and the DJs have if there is a divorce or worse still, if someone is so angry they kill themself or the spouse? I think the people who call in are totally stupid to do it. But, you can tell that the DJs are pushing it as hard as they can. Casting doubts. Are you surrrrrrre? If a person is already suspicious, how does this help? Of course it is just entertainment, or so they say, but think of what could be the outcome one day. Someone just might decide to take out the DJs too. Hummmm......

Maybe Leslie is right. Maybe there is no creative people left.
