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 curious....if you watched a commercial for dog food produced in Hollywood, does that mean you lost you salvation? (hollywood is just a city folks. It's not a room in Satans mansion)

The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is trying to ride it. Hollywood is a dead horse.
The real question should be about Dollywood and why the District Board hold their meetings in Branson?

Yup...I just swoop in with the remote and switch it if I don't like it. The same thing with the stoopid commercials. they think they are so smart trying to sell me what THEY want me to have. If I don't watch them or leave the room, I am in control..the same with the channels. I am in control if I switch it.
TRUE----this has rehashed so many times........
