The internet is for porn
A major British newspaper, The Independant, made a shocking discovery: the internet is for porn. Well, World of Warcraft players already knew that. In fact I'm a bit surprised that stories like that still hit the news.
I only write about that because The Independant article also talks about internet porn causing problems in people's sex life. I just finished watching the second season of CSI Miami on DVD, and the last episode was so bad that I decided not to buy any more of the CSI Miami on DVD. The story was about an 18-year old who suffered from erectile dysfunction due to having watched too much porn. Quote: "Real women just don't do it for me any more." So he goes and kills his favorite porn star, in the hope that this will cure his problem. An 18-year old who can't get it up any more because of porn? Who writes drivel like that? Pat Robertson?
So that episode and the one episode where the videogame turned students into mass murderers just for "high scores" made me decide that CSI Miami was not the right thing to watch for somebody with a more liberal view of the world. I am sure that both video games and porn can cause problems, but showing them both as causing people to become killers is totally exaggerated. It really seems that there is some sort of religious right political agenda behind sensationalist TV scripts like that, and that is not something I am looking for in my entertainment.

The religious right might want to believe that drivel to support their views of morality, but even they can't take themselves seriously.
The Independent writers felt like they had to give those warnings about porn. More drivel. They could have said, "Most women don't care if their spouses look at porn and it causes no problems in their relationships." They would have been right.
No one cares if Sandra Gidley thinks porn is shocking.
Study shows that more than half of all children encountered porn on the internet "while looking for something else". What age are these "children"? There's a big difference between six year olds and seventeen year olds. I assume it's the seventeen year olds and if you asked them how they found it, they'd say , "I don't know. It just popped on the screen."

I hope that doesn't turn you off from CSI in total. CSI:LV is truly excellent and I rather enjoyed CSI:NY, the few times I saw it.

The fourth season of CSI Miami is the worst one, the writing continually declines in quality each season. New York had the best writing and most unique cases this last season out of all three CSI shows, definitely most improved.
