        Easy to answer, look to Jinx ;o)

Oh, A. I'm disappointed. I'm a lovely person. And I'll deck
anyone who says different ;-)

It seems to me that violence, fake or not, is so much more
prevalent in the media these days. And I do worry about it.
It's not there wasn't violence 20 or 30 years ago, it's just that
what you see know is nastier and has a grit to it that I find
distasteful. Look at the genre that's been popular for a
couple of years - Big Brother & Survivor. Sure they have a
few laughs, but basically they are about voyeurism on dislike,
disloyalty, greed, back-stabbing and bitchiness, then you
have the "voting off". I find the shows thoroughly odious. On
the plus side, there's so much garbage on TV I get heaps
of work done
