Deep Breaths...

A couple of sites from people who seem to (a) live in a dream world and (b) want to control what everyone watches and reads because they don't want to take on the responsibility to bring up their children properly:

Holy Mother Starlight's article on Video Nasties and other controversies - she believes that there should be a new rating of '22' for videos, that Mulan is unsuitable for children because the heroine dresses up as a boy (does that mean that some of Shakesphere's plays are equally depraved?), and that The Running Man could become a reality. Oh my.

MediaMarch - they organise marches to protest the depravity on our screens. They claim they represent all faiths, but I only found references to Christian groups and a token reference to the Muslim Council of Britain.

Mediawatch-UK - Mary Whitehouse's baby. *shudder* This has perhaps the best one: earlier this month the ITC ruled that two programmes on Living TV (Crossing Over and 6ixth Sense) were in breach of regulations - because they presented the occult as factual rather than entertainment, and could be potentially damaging to children. Seriously, how?

And they say that religion isn't involved in these decisions...

religion and beliefs, movies
