Movies: S&V

With the daily bombardment of inappropriateness in every sort of media, we have become desensitized to the severity of it. Oh, that politician hooked up with his intern? Whatever. That new movie has so much gore it had to edited three times before it was knocked down from NC-17 to R? It's probably not really that bad. While there are a few groups that actively try to stop the promiscuity and violence, for the most part we just kick back and relax and take whatever Hollywood feels like dishing up. It's an unfortunate reality that is becoming more and more commonplace, which makes one wonder about the quality and legitimacy of the future. I shudder to think about how many taboo topics will be easily tossed around in the media when my children are my age. It's a scary thought, and I don't like to dwell on it!
