C'mon Izzy, it's hard to avoid when you have 5 kids...I make them change the channel and try and teach them that that's not the ONLY thing life's about. It is better to watch and comment than let them watch alone, also.

Unless you're ready to stop electricity to the house.

Still better yet is to not watch and still comment on that which is pop culture.

You don't have to give up electricity.....just cable/satellite. It's really not that hard, and you may find, as I did, that your kids actually do things like read for pleasure. You save money, too.

If one declines to participate in pop culture, it ceases to have much effect on your kids. Mine aren't raised in a total vacuum, but the example of refusing to let pop culture/sexually explicit content into your home is one that has great influence on my kids.

Try it for a week by just unplugging the cable. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
