I saw a early episode of "Shameless" in which the climax was setting fire to a council house and the whole family celebrating - this is cartoon violence glamorised by Channel 4 and in the light of senseless violence in the riots last August - surely "Shameless" and the rest does influence this kind of behaviour.  As well as all the Hollywood propaganda!!! |
To be honest kestrelx 90% of the stuff on channel 4 is rubbish, for one I've never watched Shameless, the title puts me of for a start, but film and TV do have a lot to answer for with the behaviour in society today
