NBC WINS 2004
“DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE AWARD”!
NBC wins the 2004 “Depraved Indifference Award” with its upcoming
show “Wife Swap.” NBC defends the show by
saying that the name of the show does not really tell you what the show is
about. Do they think the average
American is a fool?! Whatever the show
is about, THE NAME
OF THE SHOW PROMOTES UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!
SURVEY RESULTS
Over 100,000 people have taken our instant survey (courtesy of
“Instant Survey, Inc.”). The survey
results reveal the following opinions about popular entertainment:
|
We believe much of our popular entertainment is an ethical
failure. |
83% |
|
We believe some of our popular entertainment is ethically weak. |
13% |
|
We believe most of our popular entertainment is decent enough. |
4% |
The people have
spoken! It is time for the
entertainment industry to change its ways!
Our website rates television programs, broadcasters, movies,
musical artists, television commercials, etc. in terms of the ethical nature of
their content. Our standard is the
Family Standard. In the United States,
it is univerally recognized that the basis for the Family Standard is the
Bible. We are just beginning to develop
our Internet presence.
We will only be including entertainment that is not totally
offensive on this page. Movie entertainment
is only EFTV (“Edited For Television”) entertainment unless otherwise
noted. Non-EFTV versions of movie
entertainment can contain offensive content, which is not found in EFTV
versions of the same movie entertainment.
Only a rating method of “c” (see below) guarantees perfect adherence to
our rating system. It is up to you to
be sure that any entertainment is suitable for children. An entertainment’s rating may change if
additional information about that entertainment is obtained. Here is our current rating system:
