But it seems to be a bit unfair to single out that area of today's culture, when it is only one bit of filth riding the weekly TV stream of sewage.
Nothing seems too crude anymore for laughter at least from the canned audience recording.
They could be scripts from the filthiest-minded sophomore in a creative writing class. They suggest that sex is the main preoccupation of bright young couples today, and that restraint in making that known publicly has all but disappeared. Those who defend the educational process of recent years, and the billions spent on it with more billions proposed for each new budget, should have to explain the precipitous plunge of audience taste into the gross and the lewd. Perhaps education did not cause this devaluing of creativity, but it obviously has done nothing to counteract it. Perhaps it may not have the maintenance of decent taste as a direct purpose, but surely taxpayers should expect that the general mandated education of their children would result in some high level of discernment and an elevated appetite for the mature and wholesome.
