My television is flooded with reality shows. At every weekend I have only two choices whether to go for movie alone because of movie only. Because you never know when a character will make entry with ultra miniskirts or some unusual dress which is only made to show her body not to cover her and start doing what you will wish to watch at least with not with your young ones. Well I don’t have any problem with this it’s OK as I am living in a society which is now trying to be modern.
When I was a kid I only have one channel to get entertained and that is national channel which is eagerly watched by my grandfather and father at specific time “The News Hour”. In that prime time being a national channel it does shows some small clips on population control as commercial breaks to make people aware of fact. Those use condom advertisements will make everybody look down and here there as it was not important at all to have attention to it. But at that time also such advertisements were bold enough to be discussed on dinner table even though those ads have nothing such element in their video which will embarrass you to watch it with younger members of family.
But time changed so as my television. Satellite channels came where everything is available from good to bad and bad is transformed to bold. The vulgarity and abusive language is style, script and coolness for most of the reality shows. On weekends you are not allowed to go for an outing with your loved one because some award show is waiting on that day in which big star will comment on their controversial issues to tease each other. Throughout that weak you will find that every NEWS channel making NEWS of it, that what will happen this Saturday! And ultimately when you watch the show you will find the same expected as it was not promised in the promos. My television is not only spoiling my weekends but also giving me threats. I can’t watch a single channel with my family specially news channel on TV which my father always preferred. But the same advice I can’t pass to my son as I am threatened by some unusual advertisement. Those advertisements which have hot chocolate and strawberry and all erotic things, it is threatening me. I am scared of the thought that one day when we all watching TV during dinner and that add will hit the screen and my little 5 year old son will watch it with eyes wide open. What will I do at that time, should I stop him or change the channel? Both situations will put me in no men’s land. If my son asks me, a five year old kid asks me what is condom and how it used. What will be my answer? Actually this is the situation which I am avoiding from couple of weeks. But sooner that firewall of avoidance will perish. Not only that advertisement but many other shows telecasted during prime time with so many beeps and some which are censored but one can easily make a guess what is going behind the blurred images am not sure why those moments of intimacy ,actually of vulgarity are showcased as reality. I don’t know whether these guys who act and make such shows and ads have some moral responsibility or not.But such shows and ads are seen and loved by people that is why they are made. I am clueless what to be done. Even I don’t know who is to be blamed for this, people who watch it or people who make it!
Many expert educationalists, socialist that seems to be unofficial brand ambassador of such uncensored and censored matter will argue that this is what the modernization is and this the way the our society is changing, this is free society and if you don’t like certain thing better you close your eyes to that. Other will come against this argument and cry loud that these imported formats of reality shows is destroying our culture. They seem to be fighting and making a war of words and guess what. All this drama will be running live, again on your TV. At the end of this argument battle everybody will hold Govt. accountable as we do every time. But Govt. is busy in removing some kind of stains it had got after wrestling with opposition in the mud of corruption. My TV is still remains free for vulnerability in the form of coming soon realty shows because we are living in free society.
