Regulation of TV Violence is good and is the start of Media reform

According to a UCLA study, American children by the age of 18 have seen 15,000 simulated murders and 200,000 acts of violence.

The FCC wishes to regulate violence on TV and for that, I applaud them.

Media violence DOES affect children. The old "He/She won't understand." excuse can put them at higher risk of doing violence.

Also, the image of mental illness is deteriorating. The media needs an image change on these people fast before permanent negative stereotypes stick with them.
