This evening me and Jennifer went to see the remake of the movie "Footloose" (not my kinda movie but shes been really wanting to see it). I gotta say I was pretty disappointed. While the overall story remained fairly the same as the original, much disturbed me. Since when did they "booty-dance" and "grind" in this story? The main female kid, who was portrayed as a well-intentioned yet misplaced youth (the daughter of the town Preacher), also claimed to not wish to disrespect her father , (or any of his wishes), yet the entire movie was full of her constantly doing just that. She walked around in very revealing clothing, useing inappropriate language, and haveing sex with various misfits. This , while spoken of as a remake, was indeed just that. Accept I say it was more of a Babylonian overhaul of what was once innocent Kevin Bacon fun.

You see this show just reminded me really of how much stuff has truly changed just from when I was growing up. They never would have come out with most of the music they have on the airwaves today, used the same language on public television, or for that matter, showed what they show. For further example: On one Disney channel show I heard that they portrayed two women kissing one another...in a romantic way. This , imo, is absolutly unacceptable for young children to veiw. Any one remember when the Disney channel had stuff like the Mickey Mouse club, or even Tailspin? Would they have tolerated that back then?

Furthermore spiritual matters (not necessarily religious ones either) are all but forgotten in most homes even down here in the deep south (aka "The Bible belt"). Parents are more content to allow their children to be raised by the T.V. itself than spending any quality time as a family. Simply put: Families dont eat together anymore. I just think things are getting entirely out of hand. Society as a whole that is.

Sad.
