CTV Is EXTREME

CTV's Sunday night prime-time schedule consisted of a documentary about Brian Mulroney and the MTV Video Music Awards. One minute, Brian Mulroney is discussing the Meech Lake Accord. The next minute, Britney Spears is strutting around in her bra and panties.

Talk about two extremes.

Besides me, does anyone else see anything wrong with that?

There are a lot of extremes in our society and culture, and this is one example. Violence and love are extremes as well and you see this on television all the time. I personally really hate the way society obsesses over celebrity in any form. So self destructive in many ways but also can be seen as a career to aspire to. That's extreme.

It is certainly a problem. What bothers me is when shows like ET and ET: Canada do stories on Celebrities' personal lives. Do we really need to know the details of so-and-so's divorce or how so-and-so dresses for awards shows.

Not particularly. But then, my tastes are also abnormal in the eyes of some.
