I was reading a post from WAODs about black teens having lots problem with VD. For some reason a memory flashed in my head. It was a funny commercial about Geraldo Rivera talking about "sex". Every time he said the word, his clothes got torn off one piece per word. At the time, that was a hilarious commercial. I still get a one sided smile on my face thinking about it.
But I wonder what it meant. Did it mean that every time someone watches those reveal all, talk shows that they are brought closer to behaving that way? Who watches those shows? (I don't have a television, so are they still around?) I'm sure when folks think things are sufficiently saturated and cooked in, I'll be hearing some survey or study stating that those who watch those shows -specifically BF- tend to end up more promiscuous than others.
Hmmmm....

Interesting possible connection you've made between watching TV and people's subsequent behavior. My husband and I do not watch TV either. However, I do watch Elmo's World and YES Teletubbies with my 2 1/2 year old that I care for though. I think I am going to reach and say that you're possibly onto something...
What you wrote about is something I've been wondering about for years. This posting is indeed food for thought!
Chelb - Welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Isn't life so much less stressful with out TV News insisting on their bad news to our faces?
I sure hope someone with bigger clout than I will take this and run with it.
Miriam,
Hello again! THANKS for stopping by my blog and making a comment. I as pleasantly surprised to see that I had a visitor. Blogging is all new for me. I guess I'm using my little piece of cyberspace like a daily journal. My husband who is (Filipino/Russian-Jewish) really likes your blog, by the way! ; )
