To be
honest, I don’t really enjoy watching television. I mean, I have my moments
where I sit on my butt for an hour or two and watch some Spongebob, but when I look
back on my week, I’m reading or writing more than watching t.v. Sometimes when
I’m bored on vacations and stuff I watch more television than I should. I watch
Jersey Shore, The Food Network Channel, and The Regular Show. I watch more
movies than t.v. because they don’t usually have gory stuff showing at five
p.m. There are six televisions in my house. We each have one in our rooms
because if someone is watching something in the living room that we don’t like,
than we go to our room and watch what we want. Parents like to blame a lot of
things on the media, especially violence. To be on honest, that pisses me off.
If you let your child sit in front of the television for hours in a day, then
maybe yea it’ll influence them to do stupid stuff. Seriously though, if a kid
sits in front of the t.v. watching Dora the Explorer, I doubt that they will
grow up to be a serial killer. I mean, you can definitely monitor what your
children are watching. Don’t blame it on the media. Also, I think watching television
can help kids learn stuff. That’s why they have Barney the Pedophile…I mean
Dinosaur, and Dora. They teach kids how to have manners and how to count until
ten. For adults though, it’s just a form of entertainment. Sometimes you just
need to laugh at Family Guy to really let some anger go after working hard. In
closing, I don’t know why I just started my sentence like that, but anyways, I just
think people need to learn that the media isn’t to blame in all cases when your
child becomes an axe wielding murderer.
