This opportunity allows me to address the shocking quality of television provided by the Foxtel UK Channel.
The show in question is, of course, Eastenders.
It is offensive to broadcast such poorly crafted nonsense to Australian audiences.
Murders, thieves, and villains casually entering others’ homes…without keys…threatening one another. Stolen babies and corrupt doctors…
If this represents British television, it’s no surprise the UK is experiencing a significant depression. Perhaps this explains the numerous high-profile suicides occurring there.
Television should provide entertainment…we desire laughter, not tears.
In recent months, we have been exposed to public displays of affection between gay couples and their desire to adopt children. Recently, a schoolboy has openly admitted his sexuality and kissed another boy in a public setting. Do you truly believe this is appropriate content for Australian youth?
While the liberals and well-meaning individuals may argue that there’s always the option to turn it off, they fail to grasp the main issue.
I do not wish to turn it off!
I urge the Television Broadcast Authority to take action and put an end to it. Foxtel should be advised to monitor the content of its programs before subjecting the country to them. Shows should come with a warning to remind viewers to continue taking their anti-depressants.
If daily broadcasts featured pornographic material and violent gang assaults, would well-meaning individuals suggest that sexual deviants and bullies simply turn off their televisions, or would they insist that the broadcasters cease airing such programming?
