OPINION:
The insidious injustice of O.J. Simpson getting away with a vicious double murder and then being honored by dominating the Emmy Awards comes as no surprise, as it headlines the reckless decline of the entertainment industry (“’Game of Thrones,’ ’Veep’ take top honors at Emmys,” Web, Sept. 18).
Indeed, Hollywood has become a superficial society of social aggression, political tyranny, selfish interests and extremes of shallow minds, absent social redeeming value.
Coupled with damaging violence, lazy remakes, true stories without core truth, stupid sitcoms and soaps, overdone cop, legal and medical series, and the obsession with horror, apocalypse and superhero movies, Hollywood has turned into a tasteless entertainment wasteland.
Add the irresponsibility of television commercials depicting loud, obnoxious behavior, idiotic situations and reckless speeding cars to the equation, and there isn’t much left but mind-numbing experiences.
