Not murder in the streets, terrorist attacks, war, guns every direction you look, domestic voilence, gang wars, police brutality,
Its the video games... & Heavy Metal too
In fact lets start a petition to forbid, under penalty of public hanging, everything except The Care Bears & Barney the Dinosaur. That way we can be sure to prevent the warping of our childrens fragile impresionable (sp?) minds.

Superb!
I think entertainment industry is attacked because it is easier to go after them than it is to go after bigger role models...our War mongering president, corporate thieves who steal and not get punished, etc etc.
What are the kids learning from finding out the leaders of a company stole money and did not get punished because they were rich? Ofcourse, "because they were rich" is usually substituted with a blatant lie to mask the motive. I got news for you, the "popular culture" maybe a problem, but it is a short term problem. There are bigger problems in our "culture" that are ignored and given the VIP treatment. Why?
Is a video game bad influence or a board of directors whose greed drove a company and thousdands of families to the unempolyment lines?
And I agree with Art that to move a mountain you must start with a small pebble....but that small pebble is overshadowed by a giant boulder.
