TV’s falling from their standards, or falling standards on TV – which is worse?
“A child is rushed to a U.S. emergency department every 45 minutes with an injury that’s related to a falling television, according to a new study” reported on Newsmaxhealth.com this morning, July 22.
Meanwhile the Federal Communications Commission has extended the deadline by which to solicit sex – that is to say, feedback, on their proposal to lower the standard to provide more nudity and indecency and profanity and obscenity to be shown on primetime TV.
When children would be watching. On whom TV’s are falling.
This is no small matter to small munchkins from ever-larger TV’s which in 2011 for example grew an average two inches in just one year – the TV’s, not the children. Such growth is not even remotely possible to the TV-remote-grasping average teenager who, couch-potatoed, munches whoppers and curly fries and everything else he can get his hands on. But to the Thin (that’s funny) Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display industry (TFT-LCD) that little two inches is a big deal.
Evidently such expansion is quite remarkable for the industry, led by Sharp which significantly affected the average with a whopping screen girth ballooning from 39.1 to 48.3 inches.
And that’s just average shipping size. Sharp also leads the industry in the world’s largest LED flat screen television. Possibly building a ship in which to ship it, the as-long-as-NBA-star-LeBron-
Sure. Probably not likely. I mean if you’ve got $10,999.99 to shell out for this whopper you can probably afford a fastener or two to affix it to the wall. Not a little embarrassing to tell the emergency room technician your little one was flattened by a big flat screen.
And right during that steamy sex scene too which, given yet another extension deadline (August 2) by the FCC to ostensibly garner public comment that before the last deadline was running 1,000-to-one against weakening decency standards that would allow nudity and profanity during hours when children are in the audience, you’ll be able to see more of.
TV’s falling from their standards, or falling standards on TV – which is worse?
Yes.
Should you want to tell the FCC where they can put the trash they’re proposing for your TFT-LCD, click on the last hyper-link above. You have until August 2 – unless the deadline is extended yet again – to tell them loud and clear what they already know.
