drugs, sexism, shallow attitudes about beauty and violence in most of its productions.

When these same people vow and stop making, producing and starring in splatterfests, gorefests and when the musicians stop making use of the word "bitch," the "n-bomb" and glorifying their own avarice, vice and worship of the all-mighty dollar, I will believe the things they say.

Until then, their message is nice. . .but hollow.
