It's amazing to me that society thinks that nothing's true unless there's a study done somewhere. Common sense doesn't seem to be that common anymore.
Consider this news story: LINK. Imagine that, teenage girls watching Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City are MORE LIKELY to do things that cause them to end up pregnant! Shocking... who would have EVER made that connection???!!!! It's a good thing they did a study to point that out to us!
I remember seeing an interview with Sarah Jessica Parker a few years ago when Sex and the City was at the top of it's game. She said she would be out walking around NYC and young girls would come up to her and say, "Ohhh, I LOVE Sex and the City!!!!" She said she always wanted to slap the parents. It was definitely not a show that teen-aged girls should be watching.
How many years have leaders of our church been telling us to be careful about what we let into our homes and careful about what we watch in theaters? Now we have "proof" of what we already know.
What's next? A study on violent video games and violence among young men? Nahhhh.... oh wait, it's been proven but no one wants to listen.

I couldn't agree with you more, Kim.....I too laughed when I read that article and said "duh" to myself. Today, election day, may be another day when common sense is absent.
