Just as the fast, junk foods are designed for infantile appetites, the graphic sex and violence featured on television targets the immature leanings of a mass population. Vivid depiction leaves little to the imagination, whereas subtle suggestion requires more thinking and subtlety of feeling. The emphasis of graphic sex suggests a widespread emotional emptiness that is being desperately compensated for with erotic preoccupation. The prevalence of violence caters to the aggressive/destructive fantasies of many neurotically and criminally inclined viewers.
