Do you think there is too much violence on TV?
Jump to Comments
A friend’s 4 year-old daughter recently listened to a story about her mother’s grandma, who she was, what she liked. The usual stories.
Then she asked, “where IS Grandma now?”
“Well, Grandma got very old, and she died,” her mother replied matter-of-factly.
“She did??”
“Yes,” said the mom, bracing herself for The Discussion of death and dying.
“Who SHOT her??”

It’s good that children learn that getting shot and then dying is a natural part of life.

Poor old murdered grandma. That’s great. (But, yeah – I think there is a bit too much violence on TV. And yet, my kids and I love Southpark, which is terribly violent and also remarkably crude. And subversive and funny.)

Reminds me of a movie I saw as a kid on late-night TV: “I Dismember Mama.”
