When did sexandviolence become one word? That usage annoys me to death.
I can't stand watching violent content....everything from car chases to shoot-outs makes me change the channel, without hesitation. It doesn't entertain me, it doesn't amuse me, and it very rarely moves the story along in any meaningful way. Unfortuanately, it seems to show up most frequently on the evening news, and THAT I can't ignore, but that's a topic for a different forum.
Sexually explicit content is an entirely different thing. It can be joyful, beautiful, funny, or sad. No, it's not appropriate for children too young to really understand what they are looking at. But not everything shown on TV has to be tailored for an audience of children.
Like it or not, Vampires are sexual symbols. I'm hard pressed to think of a more
blatent sexual symbol in literature. And these being the times in which we live, a cable-produced, more explicit version of Dark Shadows should not come as a surprise to anyone.
If a new Dark Shadows was actually going to
happen.....
