TRUE BLOOD VAMPIRES & THE EXPLICIT TV SUCKING THE INNOCENCE OUT OF OUR CHILDREN

The flavor of this article would suggest that television revert back to the days when sex was taboo and people slept in twin beds, like on I Love Lucy.
Anything a child watches will have some effect on how they perceive the world, it is just human nature. But it is up to the parents to guide them through all they survey. Movies, video games, comics, all show violence and some sort of sexual content, even on a subconscious level. Should society just do away with all forms of material that shows this? Would that actually help teenagers refrain from cursing or experimenting with sexuality? How far must we censor everything?
