It’s Over!

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Hollywood screenwriters voted to end their three-month long strike here Tuesday, union officials said, bringing to a close the US entertainment industry’s most damaging dispute in 20 years.

Well finally! People can get back to watching their favorite programs. Although I don’t watch a lot of TV, I never cease to be amazed that once you leave the Travel Channel, or National Geographic, or the chick flicks on Hallmark Channel, (and my favorite show, which I seldom get to see, “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader”) you find yourself mired in crime, adultery, homosexuality, bi-sexuality, crude and disgusting language, filthy innuendo perceivable by the typical 5th grader, and a rampant distortion of anything even remotely connected to Christianity.

As a nation we are convinced that we are “just showing forth reality. People need to know the real world around them and TV and movies portray accurately our society. We can’t hide from life.”

Ok! So let’s make Earth as much like Hell as possible, right? Read that first quote again – the Truth is, I am not sure anything has damaged the US more than the entertainment industry.

But that’s just my opinion. What’s yours?
