For those of you who argued on your papers, I thought I’d post some thought-provoking articles (at least they provoked some thought out of me). So…
If you argued that entertainment CAN ruin society try this: Brain Candy.
If you argued that entertainment CANNOT ruin society why don’t you check this out: The Age of EgoCasting.
Look [...]
