Horrific TNN
Now Playing: S.H.E. - You wouldn't know if I told you.
I don't know about anybody else but I for one am constantly amazed and occasionally horrified by the things I see on TV. Case in point being a ad being run on TNN-formerly the Nashville Network and soon to me Spike TV a network for 'men.' The ad starts by saying that TNN is the place for "Cold women" and then the scene cuts away to a bluish nude woman who is being displayed in a pull out coroner's drawer. A few rapid fire cuts to other dead women and then it goes on to mention a particular show which happens to feature this sort of entertainment. I really hope that "men" aren't finding thrills and entertainment by visuals of nude dead women. It's disgusting, irresponsible and base. It appeals to a level of humanity and a level of mental development which borders on criminal.

The ad in question isn't misleading. If looking at cold blue dead women who are naked is what you want to see then you know to watch a certain variety of shows on TV. The crime drama shows have gone to this level and also tend to make things as graphic and horrific as possible. Gone are the days of murder mysteries where you are invited to play along as Mrs. Fletcher or Quincy puzzle through the mystery and come up with the answer at the end of the episode. No indeed, now you are treated to the thrill of participating in the actual murder through the eyes of the killer, you are treated to the thrill of all the terror and all the visuals that network television can get away with. Congratulations, do you think this makes you a better person or does it instead reveal something dark and evil inside your soul?

I don't watch much network TV anymore, this being one of the reasons. You shouldn't either.
