Raising the Youth: T.V.'s New Power

People that complain about sex and violence in the media piss me off. Just saying.
We all know that the media is filled with debauchery, drugs, and disorder. So don't let the television raise your fucking kids. As a parent you have every right to control what television your child consumes. For crying out loud, every television set bigger than 13 inches that has come out since January of 2000 has been installed with a v-chip. The v-chip is a device that gives parents the power to choose what programs they find acceptable for their children. Most satellite and cable boxes come with the same features. If you care so much about what your children are being exposed to then quit bitching and do something about it. BLOCK IT. It is not the media's responsibility to raise the nation's children, plain and true. While I understand that it is hard to escape the media and it's messages, it is the parent's responsibility to put a good head on their children's shoulders. Would you rather your children's morals be instilled by you or the box that vomits up what corporations want you to hear in your living room? I hope that people can become conscious consumers and can pass that mindset on to their children. Again we all know what deviance lurks on television, and we know we don’t have to watch it. We need to be able to take certain things with a grain of salt and understand that they are entertainment in it’s simplest form. So watch your Jersey Shore, but don't live your life by the messages of that and other similar programs.
