Hollywood Content? Do you agree?

Hollywood content is wrong on whatever medium that you choose to watch it on. Internet, TV, Cell Phone, Palm Pilot, Watch, etc, etc.

If you watch Hollywood Type Content on Youtube you are as wrong as watching it on TV. Content is the problem, rather than the medium.

That being said, TV is so polluted with Hollywood content, that it can be likened to looking through a garbage can for a little morsel of good food. You would do it or let your kids do it, hence the wise stand against the TV period!

Everyone here recognizes that the internet cannot be likened to in the same manner. There is both good and bad. I stand against the bad. I will not purchase the bad. I will not watch Hollywood movies on the internet.

BUT it is also a library of unbelievable magnitude. It is a 2-way communication tool. It is an advertising tool (similar to advertising in the newspaper), etc, etc. I choose to use it in this manner, and for these purposes.

In summary, the internet is a spoon in your hand, with which you choose what to eat. TV is a spoon in someone else hands feeding you what they want to give you. This is the difference between interactive internet, and passive (feed me) TV.

PIA,

While I agree with your overall ideology, this subject has been beaten, resurrected, beaten again, over and over and over. How 'bout we bury it? Let's have a little unity rather stirring something like this up again.

Just an honest question. I haven't dealt with V-chips and the like since I haven't had a TV for a long time. When I have seen TV in homes or stores, what hits me are the ads. You can be watching a good show and "boom!!", you're hit with a half naked lady selling viagra or underwear. Or worse yet, Bob Dole. How do these filters and v-chips work against ads? If its a decent show with bad ads, does it block them?

In my experience the V-chip doesn't block commercials, but the TV guardian will block offensive language in commercials that are setup with closed captioning.

Dealing with commercials is where DVR technology comes in. By just delaying when you begin watching a show by 15 minutes by hitting pause at the beginning of the show, you can avoid seeing any commercials. You can skip in 30 second intervals to just skip over them entirely. Also, for the most part commercials are very dependent on the programming that they are being shown during. You will not really see Victoria's Secret commericals on animal planet or the history channel.
