In the hotel room I saw a notice next to a TV set informing us that this television set has programming that contains content for "mature" viewers. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
We recently explained on the blog that to be an adult, a gadol, means to be a giver. A child is primarily a taker while an adult is [or should be] primarily a giver. What is pornography [for which content intended for "mature" viewers is a euphemism. It wouldn't be respectable to write in an upper scale hotel that the TV has programs that contain "hard core pornography"]? Pornography is the act of TAKING! The man couldn't care less about the woman he is watching. She is just the object of his lust and he fulfills his base desires by watching her. Then he turns the channel and the "relationship" is over. There is no concern for another person, it is a completely self-centered exercise. All that matters is ME and my pleasure.
So the notice should say "Warning - This TV contains content that is fitting for completely immature self-centered, narcissictic, lustful, pleasure seekers. It will damage their souls almost irreparably. So why do we show such filth? Why do we drag peoples minds through the sewage filled gutter? Because it $ells!"
