Government Regulations on Alcohol and Tobacco being shown on TV…………………what next? Ban on porn?

In Uncategorized on October 25, 2007 at 3:48 am

Actually, yes.

I went to school last week and my friends were talking about the new found pastime of the cops……….checking poor fellows on motorcycles for pornographic material on their phones :-) But I don’t know how far it’s true :-P , friend talk could go anywhere………

So, if all the above is true, then I believe it’s a step in the right direction at last.

Pornography, in my view, is a root cause for the self-destruction of a person, mentally. I’m speaking about guys my age who are still at school and study (or don’t) under the guidance of their parents and teachers.

Believe it or not, all the guys in my class are either addicted to porn………..or me. No, I’m not lying here, I think I’m lucky enough to understand the consequences and ill-effects of watching porn.

Please don’t laugh, because I do think that indulging in this particular vice not only corrupts the mind, but pollutes the soul as well. I have come to note through the experiences of friends that watching this becomes a regular habit and is hard to shy away from….you’ve got the internet, your parents are not around, why not?

Through my experiences, I’ve noticed that friends of mine who are regurlar subscribers to this vice are of a more meaner nature, always involved in fights, use vulgar lang, can’t understand or appreciate a teacher’s advice, always have mood shifts and are generally tiresome to be with.

Now, I’m not qualified to talk like this at all, and the above said features of a person could result from a variety of other things totally unrelated to porn, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot in the past few months, observing my friends who openly confess to watching porn. As I said earlier, I don’t believe in watching these things and I don’t. I have told everybody that I don’t and they kinda get pissed off and call me a “p” dial and all sorts of stuff.

Through all this I have also observed their take on porn. It’s manly, they say. You’re a woman if you don’t, they say. You have to do it at least once, they say. They say all this about smoking, drinking, and consuming drugs too. Need I say more……..

So I say, my dear Gov luv, make your ban, if there ever is one, tougher if you want a cleaner, happier, and less ill-effected future generation…..

ETV is the dumbest shit ever!

If you’ve read my previous posts regarding the Government Regulations on Alcohol and Tobacco and have been watching a bit of TV lately you’ll know that TV stations are now required (not sure) to blot out scenes of alcohol and tobacco consumption.

In my previous posts I’ve stated why these so-called regulations affect the viewing pleasure of the TV viewing public, and how the regulations can’t possibly affect the consumption of the said vices in this country…………

Everything blogged, said, and done………………….ETV is the dumbest shit ever!

Why do I say that? Yesterday, Friday, I settled down to watch One Tree Hill, one of the only few good shows ETV broadcasts, anyway, there I was watching it and anticipating a blot-out on the screen when there was a drink shown. Thankfully there isn’t much drinking in the show, which mainly focuses on a group of teenagers. Halfway through the show, during a perfectly acceptable scene of a girl talking on stage to a group of people, the dumb-asses at the station blot out the whole scene! What the hell??

This was not an isolated incident, several other perfectly peaceful and clean scenes,  two actors talking, a girl talking on her cell and a perfectly acceptable scene of a play were just some of the scenes blotted out.

Come to think about it there were plenty of scenes where loads and loads of vodka, gin and scotch bottles together with filled-to-the-brim wine glasses were in plain view of the screen…………

And not only that, scenes with sexual content were plainly shown on screen……………………!!

ETV is anyway a good for nothing channel just polluting the airwaves of Colombo, on top of bad management of shows and stupid blunders like these, ETV shows the most amount of advertisements, ruining viewing time, they constantly show repeat telecasts of the same episode over and over again, they keep on showing those pain in the neck Teleseen ads.

All said, ETV has the bloody guts to ask viewers whether they are addicted to the damn channel………….

Grow up, ETV.
