TV Isnt Violent Enough

The author of this essay I believe is tired of the how TV does not depict viloence the way he feels it should be shown. He talks about how predictable the TV shows are. How the killer always gets away and how they unrealictly kills someone like instantly with a knife. He says how several minutes of strenuous work are required to cut enough blood vessels so the victum bleeds to death. I think this guy has a point but its TV for a reason. People want to see violence but it can't be to the point where its too much gore in it. Manily to meet current TV standards, there are numerous of guidelines that must be meet in-order to have it on TV, especially highly respected cable networks.(CBS,NBC,FOX etc.)He tries to make the point the TV viloence isn't violent enough by saying that "children can't learn to enjoy cruelty from the neat, sanitized mayhem on the average series. There's isn't any!". He doesnt state anything that backs up his claim. Mike Oppenheim wants TV to be ten times worse than it is, which is crazy if you ask me. I mean come on its TV for Gods sake
