Did I just wake up in an alternate reality where the moral majority right winger authoritarians came into power?
Actually, the moral majority used to ban things on television, like Jeannie's belly button and no couple ever shared a bed. That was just how it was and the majority of people preferred it that way. The filth was popular with a small percent of people. Now, there are simply more people who really don't have morals, so anything goes. Just look at some of the music (if you can call it that) that we get from no-talent people. The more vulgar, the more popular. Miley Cyrus picked up where Madonna left off. Some of the worst rap music is just nasty and promotes killing.
I preferred it when most shows were wholesome. There were always bad guys in films, but there were always consequences for their actions. Everyone rooted for the hero, not the scumbag.
It's a shame that we have so much trash on television and movies, but if enough people are morally bankrupt and prefer that, we're stuck with substandard entertainment.
Seriously, if people had a modicum of intelligence, mindless crap that passes for entertainment wouldn't be as popular.
I do hope we get back to a more decent level of entertainment, but not enough people want it right now. We're stuck with reality shows and vulgar performers, who are better at twerking than at singing. If the idiots will watch, they will keep delivering shit.
