May 26, 200620 yr Oh my... I was watching TV with my dad some mintues ago.....I was zapping and on one music channel there was advertising....and only mobile phone ringtones advertising....damn annoying! I still can't believe it that they are serious about Crazy Frog and friends.... This can't be true....really.... Those damn media are brainwashing the majority of the people so much... but why do they do it?Yeah of course to make money.... No...I mean.....why do they do it with things like that? Why don't they show education shows and advertising..... ok...maybe not intellectual education things...but something in between.... I really can't understand that why they brainwash the people so much..... I mean people (especially teenagers) can't control it in my opinion...they go with the trend.... but if they showed normal things......people would also be normal...because they are influenced so damn much by the media... sorry.....but I can't get this in my head.....
May 26, 200620 yr Author Well.........Of course not everybody would be better....or different if TV for example was not like that.... But I think it's the influence of these things......and doesn't only have to do with different views of life...
May 26, 200620 yr i mean those people who watch these shows. media is about money and always be, it's not in their interest to show intellectual shows and i can understand them. it's business and everything is ONLY about money. you choose that you're being influenced by media and all this fake stuff or not. i don't care somehow = i just don't watch TV
May 26, 200620 yr Author I also don't watch much TV.... But I think those 12 year old kids who don't really know where they belong are influenced too much by TV.... and so they think everything shown there is great and good...
May 26, 200620 yr that's why they have parents who should think about their children. i know what you mean and i know how disgusting to see young teenagers who are 14-15 years old who are listening to their music, wearing some bitchy stuff and etc. tbh i'm worried about the next generation (for example here in Switzerland) but as i said it's their life i can't judge them, i can only accept them as they are
May 26, 200620 yr Author Heheh....I didn't say I don't accept them... and you are right....the parents should care more about it...maybe I'm just thinking to "positive" about it...because here in my area families like in big cities don't really exist.....I mean here parents care a lot about their children....people have money here....most of the time a good job...nice houses etc....so I'm not experienced in how it is in the cities....and maybe therefore I think media should stop showing things like that...and then the problem is solved!
May 26, 200620 yr Author I even see this in my own family.... for example.....my mum cares a lot about me...what I'm doing here at the Computer......actually is more against chatting because I could meet violent or rude people in chats....
May 26, 200620 yr I agree with Nik... The media don't care about other people's little kids... they care about their pockets... it's not personal, it's business (The godfather)...
May 26, 200620 yr Author Well...I also said in my first post that I know that they only care about their profits....but I mean if they show things that are not in such an "under-level"..........people would still be influenced by it and not so brainwashed....they wouldn't know something else...just like they do toda.y....know what I mean?
May 26, 200620 yr media's power is growing nowadays and you can't really stop it. i do believe media can provoke wars, revolutions. actually media is already a big weapon. the worst thing that the media isn't independent anymore or at least not everywhere. in some countries (i won't name them, but i think it's clear about which ones am i talking about) the government is controlling everything, including mass media.
May 26, 200620 yr you should watch portuguese TV... it's the worse you can imagine, low quality programes that only care about viewing share... I personally think that's damaging the people's culture somehow... even the news were transformed in fanstastic shows sometimes... that worries me...
May 26, 200620 yr Author Yeah yeah...I also talked about this with my dad some days ago,...the thing with the government and stuff.... But now........you said they have such a big influence on people.....and this is annoying me....if they behave just like they do nowadays....because they only show shit....if the mass media wouldn't show shit....wouldn't this be a better world?
May 26, 200620 yr Author you should watch portuguese TV... it's the worse you can imagine' date=' low quality programes that only care about viewing share... I personally think that's damaging the people's culture somehow... even the news were transformed in fanstastic shows sometimes... that worries me...[/quote'] Hehhe.....well I don't think it is only portuguese TV....I mena today I also thought there is nothing worse than german TV...it is just awful...I can't describe it....they invent new shows with pseudo stars...only to show them on TV again....and advertising....well...
May 26, 200620 yr Hehhe.....well I don't think it is only portuguese TV....I mena today I also thought there is nothing worse than german TV...it is just awful...I can't describe it....they invent new shows with pseudo stars...only to show them on TV again....and advertising....well... I think swiss TV is quite good, followed by the french where sometimes I find interesting programes... even though I watch very little Tv... at this very moment my Tv is on but is mute... I'm listening to music...
May 26, 200620 yr Author I think swiss TV is quite good, followed by the french where sometimes I find interesting programes... even though I watch very little Tv... at this very moment my Tv is on but is mute... I'm listening to music... Well.....of course you can find really good programmes on german TV aswell.....but you really have to search for them.... the best things are shown later in the evenings...unfortunately....I think the private TV stations you can forget...they are crappy....but the official show really good thing.....maybe you know3sat (they sometimes show this swiss magazine btw I think it's called "Schweizweit"....)....yesterday I was watching this channel....and suddenlty I realised that there will be the long music night...really cool....with concerts from different artists...but these things always are on TV so late....that sucks...or Arte for example...great channel aswell...
May 26, 200620 yr I understand... Arte is a very good channel and I know 3sat... don't think I have though (not really sure :huh:)... I believe there are good programmes in germany, such as in Portugal of course... what I meant by good Tv (swiss and french) is for instance in portugal there's one good programme out of 20... in germany 1/10, france 1/5, Switzerland 1/3... just an example..

Yeah...I see what you mean.... those "mass programmes" are all crap here... hehe.....I also said to my dad: We are complaining that we don't have those intellectual people in society anymore...ok....not that many.... but how shall we? When i think about the life-style maybe 200 years ago....so no surprise...
May 26, 200620 yr Author Yeah...I see what you mean.... those "mass programmes" are all crap here... hehe.....I also said to my dad: We are complaining that we don't have those intellectual people in society anymore...ok....not that many.... but how shall we? When i think about the life-style maybe 200 years ago....so no surprise... Erm...well I think I should forget about that.... because people at that time were not more educated than people from lower class of our time..
May 26, 200620 yr Erm...well I think I should forget about that.... because people at that time were not more educated than people from lower class of our time.. you'll never know... :P
May 26, 200620 yr Author Heheh....actually I can't really tell you...because like I'd said before...in my area most of the people are middle class or upper middle class....and so they are educated most of the time.... I think the situation is much worse in the cities...:wink:
