Television Horrors: Tosh.O the good & the bad!

There is a lot to say about Tosh.O and I do not think I could even fit it into one blog. Are you a critic that enjoys laughing off Tosh.O or someone who does not enjoy his extreme offensive nature? Both of these descriptions are honestly my point of view. I have found myself tuning in and watching Tosh while laughing hysterically at some of his videos. While other times I will be watching his show and be extremely offended by some of the racial comments I hear come out of his mouth. I must admit this show was an intelligent idea because now a days most people find the rude comments to be hysterical.

For those of you who do not know Tosh.O it is a half hour show which airs once a week and shows different videos that he has found on the internet or has been sent into him on his website. These videos consist of obnoxious things people are partaking in such as stunts, music videos and simply foolish behavoir just to get on television. If Tosh can find something to say about it, HE WILL!

Now dont get me wrong. I highly enjoy watching Tosh because his tolerance and levels of humor are outstanding. He has no boundaries and is willing to say whatever he wants whether the cable channel allows him to or not. Things are hardly censored and when this show is on everyone in my household is silently watching his every move. Currently he is on a college tour and has been making jokes about individual schools and their reputation. I find most of this to be funny but sometimes his humor gets out of hand. This type of show is for the internet and people should choose to watch this as they please. By having this found on cable television only allows for children and adults who would not choose to watch this to be subjected to it at odd times. Obviously people do not have to watch this if they choose not to but you can almost not help it due to its hilarity.

All I am saying with Tosh.O is that it is not a show I would want aired on television for all to see because of the messages it is sending to our society. We as a society are stating that we are okay with slander and making fun of the very people whom make up our country. Between negative conotations and rude gestures people will get the idea that we are socially accepting of talking down to people and making them feel as a minority. This may seem a little dramatic but in the long scheme of things we have fought so hard for independence and equality and now we are taking steps backwards showing the world it is ok to be how we once were. If I believed people could simply watch this on television and never act upon it that would be one thing, but knowing people learn from television and the things they see only leaves me hopeless for our society. Monkey see monkey do.
