Why is this thus? What is the reason for this thusness?

I was shocked to read this article in today’s Irish Times. I mean, television viewers making sense! What’s that all about? A shocking and horrifying new development if you ask me.

Those interviewed found depiction of a graphic rape scene more acceptable as part of a detective drama than in a soap opera, for example

And this belief that violence is more acceptable for adults than for children! Where did such reason come from. Won’t someone think of the children. Oh, hang on, they are. Because, and this really is an inciteful finding,

issues of violence, sex or coarse language were more acceptable for late-night broadcasting.

Since when did common sense become so rare that an example of it makes the papers?

And in a totally unrelated issue was out at the pub last night, and one of the usual discussions came up. You know the whole unemployment rate in France ^[1] and the fact that Irish people do enjoy using their credit cards, and getting massively into debt, because, lets face it, unless you use real hard cash then you really aren’t spending any money now are you. But that is not what I want to type about now. Oh no. A far more valuable discussion occured.

One concerning The List, you know the top five fella’s^[2] that are pure sex on legs. Only I could only come up with three. Sure there were other names hovering, but they just weren’t, you know, top five material. I did have a list of five before, and while Brad Pitt and David Boreanaz are still “all that” are they still top five?

My list of three in no particular order
• Adam Baldwin
• Sean Bean
• Keifer Sutherland

So I need another two…. Vince Vaughn maybe. Suggestions?
