Well bugger me with a Chinese pyrotechnic. Our narrow-eyed expectant European benefactors are having a crackdown to improve social cohesion. Admirably they want to strengthen social morality. So how are they going to do it ? Especially in the frame, I understand, the "vulgar tendencies" of light entertainment shows - TV, dating, and talk shows where there's a tendency towards more bang than fizz.
Recently Chinese public morality has been gravely injured by the reported attitude of passers by who, it's alleged, simply ignored the horrendous predicament of a child injured in a road accident. Frankly I doubt the vulgar tendencies of light entertainment shows have much to do with the inspiration of such behaviour. But perhaps they do.
Well then maybe the U.K. should reassess the vulgar tendencies of programmes like Strictly Come Dancing ? A show where there's fireworks every week. Enough crackers, jumping jacks, aerial bombs, and flashes to shake a stick at. But of course the U.K., is hardly China ( well not yet....). The U.K coalition government is chronically ill with liberal affliction. It also runs scared of interfering with anything BBC - but that's another story !!
So what could they possibly do? No doubt urge twelve million viewers to adopt some for of self-regulation? A sort of......" Well I don't think I'll watch that vulgar shit tonight. It could dilute my social mores." Sure !!
