I think the ironic thing is that it is Hollywood that pushes for these lower ratings so that they can get the crowd in there that makes the money and its Hollywood that pushes for putting such shows on TV yet they are the ones who end up condemning people for it. It's all hype and they are just as much if not more responsible as anyone else. Another thing is that they have nothing good to say and it's almost as if they want the U.S. to be hated, that's the part I don't get. I certainly agree that we have problems in the U.S. that need to be addressed, but its the way some people go about it that I don't agree with and to me just adds to the problem. The funny thing about Moore's documentary (this is a misnomer if you check the facts) is that at this time, violence in the U.S. has fallen quite a bit but he never brings that part out.
