THE CUTTING EDGE

NEWS BRIEF: "Crass Act: Popular Culture has really hit the dreck, as everything from TV to toys gets yucky", Sunday, January 25, 1998, The Daily News, pages 3-4.

"America, welcome to the golden age of the gross-out. Remember when we were a nation of prudish milquetoasts who ran the tap water when we went to the restroom? Not anymore. Nowadays, yucky sells -- from cartoons that revel in upchuck to talk-radio flatulence jokes to a legion of kid's books that celebrate mucus and armpit odor. Pop culture has become plop culture -- a celebration of all things gloopy, smelly, and stomach-churning. The craze for crass is even enough to shock residents of the city [New York City] that nurtured S&M performance art, Screw magazine, and the subway poster career of a zit doctor."

" 'Our taste for the scatological seems to know no bounds -- we're like kids who are fascinated with our own ca-ca,' complains Terence Mahon, professor of culture and communications at New York University. 'The sad thing about all the raunchiness is that it seems designed only to shock us into not changing the channel." [NOTE: I looked up the word, "scatological", and discovered these synonyms: gross, obscene, foul, crude, nasty, coarse, filthy, lewd, profane, indecent, barnyard, and smutty. This is the kind of TV programming to which our children are being subjected, and the kind of toys now being sold!]

"Media-watchers may debate why we've got a taste for the tasteless, but they largely agree on one thing: the standards bar is only likely to dip lower. 'In popular entertainment, sexual explicitness is really old news,' says Dr. Robert J. Thompson, director of the center for Popular Television at Syracuse University. 'What really fascinates us is the stuff that oozes from our bodies -- that's pretty clear when a popular show features a dancing human piece of excrement.' For the uninitiated, that would be Mr. Hankey, the talking Yule stool, who showed up to spread his unique brand of holiday cheer on the Christmas episode of South Park, Comedy Central's cartoon sensation. The program, which follows the misadventures of four Colorado 8-year-olds, serves up enough trash talk, gore, and excrement to delight Caligula. And it's the cable channel's top-rated show."

For years, Christian leaders have been warning that our society is corrupting our children beyond belief. TV, movies, cartoons, comic books, Rock Music and computer games were combining forces to entice our children with violence, murder, sex, and general filthiness. We have been warning that our precious, innocent children were being terribly desensitized, to the point where their hearts would be hardened to the love of Jesus Christ. We pointed out our Lord's prophecy in Matthew 24:12, concerning the condition of people's hearts during the End of the Age, arguing that this prophecy was being fulfilled right here and now with these influences. Listen to the Lord's prophecy: "And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity". [Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

Leaders of the popular cultural media, described above, reacted to our warnings with scorn. Their denials that they were corrupting our children with their programming sounded as unbelievable as the denials about the dangers of smoking coming from cigarette manufacturers. Yet, because of the popularity of their increasing levels of filth, no action was taken to remove this type of programming from our mass media.

Our mass media is unique in the annals of world history, in that it can spread good or evil throughout the entire globe in seconds, reaching the far s of the world. Never before in world history has mankind faced this type of exposure to any stimuli, either good or evil. Developed nations throughout the world are flooded with TV's, radios, newspapers, and magazines. Soon, computers will be in most homes in the developed world. And, the entire world seems to be thirsting and hungering after American culture. In America, we have been saturated with filth and obscenity from the Rock Industry since the early 1970's, when performers "thrilled" their audiences with acts like pretending to bite the heads off chickens, flashing the most explicit sex acts and innuendoes, and even dressing like Satanists. That activity was occurring back in the 1970's, and it terribly desensitized our young children.

But, now we are seeing even more gross and disgusting stuff aimed directly at the children of the 1970's children, and these kids love it dearly! Listen to some more examples.

"These days, hot network shows such as NYPD Blue, and Ally McBeal regularly feature extended scenes with their characters in the john [bathroom]. Not to be outdone, the Fox hit comedy, King of the Hill, went so far as to devote an entire episode to constipation. For the tots, there are Nickelodeon cartoon stars Ren and Stimpy, who regularly revel in aromatic flatulence and sticky ear wax. Meanwhile, the Crown Princess of Gross, Jenny McCarthy, has treated audiences to an MTV comedy sketch featuring projectile vomiting, and posed sitting on a toilet in a Candies shoe ad. Not only did MTV spawn McCarthy and pimply perverts Beavis and Butthead, it made a household name of the sickening Puck, the gross-out pioneer who brazenly picked his nose and then stuck his fouled fingers in his roommate's peanut butter in The Real World."

"Besides being fascinated by toilets, TV viewers seem to like toilet mouths. In a recent episode of the otherwise fairly tame, Ally McBeal, a lawyer threatened to 'vomit, then dive into it', if his firm lost a court case, while on NYPD Blue, profane Detective Andy Sipowicz waxed nostalgically about his first 'hump'."

"But the Big Yuck isn't limited to the tube.

* Local boy Howard Stern, who created the pungently-powered superhero, 'Fart Man', as his alter ego, continues to dominate radio ..."

* Director Harmony Korine's film Gummo features scabby adolescents who kill cats for kicks. A heroin-addled Brit in Transpotting goes for an extended swim in a filthy toilet bowl ..."

* "Spectacularly unpleasant looking singer, Marilyn Manson, delights fans of his music with stomach churning stage antics. A popular band calls itself, Garbage, while an underground rock act goes by the moniker, Snot."

* "California based company, Urban Decay, sells lipsticks with romantic names such as Gash, Bruise, Gangrene, and Roach. Not to be outdone, Revlon has introduced a competing line of makeup, featuring the glamorous shade known simply as Schmutz."

* "Nestled amid the thousand-dollar teddy bears and train sets at toy store, F.A.O. Schwarz are Wind Breakers, little cups of goo that blast a most unpleasant sound when you moosh your fingers into them. 'Do not take to church', the label warns ..."

* Toys are beginning to cater to the built-up demand for these gross and disgusting themes. The Beanie Babies, which are fantastically successful, now have their opposite babies, called Meanies. At Toy Fair, the manufacturer had a huge customized van parked outside with a banner running the full length of the bus, proclaiming that the Meanies were so very mean that they were barred from entering the Toy building! You can visit the following sites to see the Meanies for yourself. They are at the following sites: 1) www.meanies.com 2) www.meanies.com/meanienews.htm 3) www.meanies.com/matfatbat.html

The Meanie Babies feature characters with some really gross and disgusting names: Splat the Road Kill Kat; Boris the Mucousaurus; Peter the Gotta Peegull; Hurley the Pukin Toucan. Since their introduction late last Fall, the Meanies have proven to be very, very popular.

* "Meanwhile, the Topps company, best known for baseball cards, now manufactures poop pellets of chewing gum that come inside a small plastic toilet. Mortal Kombat and other games continue to serve up heaping helpings of electronic beheadings and disembowlment, while other toys allow children to make edible candy warts and blisters." If you are still allowing your children to play these gross and disgusting computer games, shame on you! You are allowing the most terrible Satanic influences to come in your children's minds. Not only are many games just downright gross, but many focus on death, and many use the occult powers as the basis for their game play.

* "In the kiddie publishing trade, there is a growing raft of titles devoted to the icky, including Bantam's Barf-O-Rama stories for 8 to 12 year-olds, which feature characters who wet their pants, break wind, festoon their hair with mucus and, of course, barf on one another." In the retail trade, the only guiding principle is whether the proposed project will make money. No one seems to care one whit about whether children will be devastated by this garbage, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

* South Park cartoon show on Comedy Central deserves special mention. This cartoon show features third-graders in a small town in Colorado. Not only do these kids speak like seasoned sailors sexually, they also use many, many scatological terms, as we have been writing about all during this article. "There is free use of 'dildo' as an insult, as well as a discussion of what the words means. Several references to one character as a 'fat bitch.' At least one 'pissed off,' a lot of uses of 'ass' and a running bit involving vomiting. I know, children like vomit jokes -- I'm just warning you." [www.beaconjournal.com/bj/fun/tv/081397.html]

While this web site, above, is limited to the first episode only, we encourage you to visit it and read it in its entirety. You will get the sense of what this terrible show is all about, and remember, South Park is the number one rated comedy show on Nickelodeon. Let us examine another quote from Beacon Journal. "The plot of tonight's episode, which involves outer-space visitors, includes one little character getting an anal probe, leading to conversation about the probe, fiery flatulence and various objects emerging from the little guy's backside."

But, wait, it gets worse. More subject matter is totally inappropriate for youngsters. "When not dealing with aliens, the boys face such topics as whether Stan should help his 103-year-old grandfather kill himself." What unbelievable, totally reprehensible subjects to be exposing young children to, all in the name of open mindedness. No child needs to be exposed to the Satanic debate on whether human euthanasia is good, bad, or whether it can be tolerated in society at all. This is not the stuff to which children should be exposed! This kind of nonsense can absolutely, totally rob a youngster of his or her innocent childhood.

We also invite you to go to a Los Angeles Times Review of South Park at http://home.san.rr.com/blackbart/LA.html. This author believes that South Park should be limited to adult viewing. However, I do have news for you. Too many children from too many households whose parents do not care about their children will find this raunchy cartoon. Since most kids think that cartoons are for them, they will fill their minds with this unbelievable smut.

This article is a microcosm of the entire debate swirling around us now about this issue to shoveling moral smut and manure down the throats of our children. I see the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan at work in this article, and in society at large. Let us quickly review the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan, and then apply it to this article.

The Plan works like this:

Step 1. Some practice so offensive that it can scarcely be discussed in public is advocated by a RESPECTED expert in a RESPECTED forum.

Step 2. At first, the public is shocked, then outraged.

Step 3. But, the VERY FACT that such a thing could be publicly debated becomes the SUBJECT of the debate.

Step 4. In the process, sheer repetition of the shocking subject under discussion gradually dulling its effect.

Step 5. People then are no longer shocked by the subject.

Step 6. No longer outraged, people begin to argue for positions to moderate the extreme; or, they accept the premise, challenging, instead, the means to ACHIEVE it.

In this article, so far, we have been discussing Step 1, how such formerly offensive subjects could be displayed publicly, and especially to young, innocent children, whose defensive guards are still under construction in their young minds.

In rapid fashion, we have discussed how shocking and outrageous this type of programming is, and we ask how in the world it can be allowed to exist. This is Step 2 in this Plan.

Now, in this article, below, see how the rest of the steps are perfectly played out.

STEP 2 IMMEDIATELY -- BECOMING STEP 4 VERY QUICKLY

"The more squeamish [people] wonder if all the emphasis on the scatological, even its most benign form, creates a culture of disrespect, in which kids think it is all right to be foul mouthed or worse. 'It's not that children aren't familiar with bodily functions, or even the harsh language and situations found in South Park', says David A. Walsh, a psychologist and head of the Minneapolis based National Institute for Media and the Family. 'It's simply that by foisting that kind of material on them, that we are in some way sanctioning it, saying it's okay to be obnoxious'." Of course, that is precisely the effect. Kids view television, movies, and computer gaming as mediums created, and run, by adults. And, adults are the authority figures for small children. What adults do, and say, are precisely what children naturally emulate. Therefore, we are creating a culture in which children are going to be conditioned to talk like, think like, and act like, these terribly disgusting people in South Park, in these various toys and TV shows, described above.

Some [people] are even harsher. 'You are what you consume', says Robert Knight, director of cultural studies for the ultra-conservative Family Research Council in Washington, which often boycotts programs that it says mock traditional Judeo-Christian values. 'And right now, Americans are being fed a steady diet of vulgarity. Once a culture starts coarsening, there is really no end in sight'. " [Notice the denigrating term, "ultra-conservative" above?]

"The worst aspect of gross culture, says Knight, is that even its most explicit material comes in forms that we associate with childhood. 'They say, South Park isn't for kids'. says Knight. 'Well, kids think cartoons are for them, and kids watch South Park. The same is true of comic books, which used to be for children and are now very adult. Look at Spawn, where you have a rotting corpse as a hero'."

STEP 3 IMMEDIATELY -- BECOMING PART OF STEP 4 VERY QUICKLY

"Of course, not everybody sees gross stuff as being all that sinister. 'Americans have always had a split personality -- we are Puritans, but we like to break taboos', says Manhattan psychologist Ava L. Siegler, author of The Essential Guide to the New American Adolescence. 'We've seen a process of breaking down these barriers about our bodies at least since the 1960's. Freeing ourselves from Victorian notions about bodily functions and sex ... isn't necessarily a bad thing. We are becoming a more open culture .... openness may help create a generation of people who aren't afraid to talk openly about stuff that might embarrass us'."

STEP 5 IMMEDIATELY -- BECOMING STEP 6 VERY QUICKLY

"But, some of gross culture's harshest critics admit that -- love it or hate it -- the Big Ick ... is here to stay ... 'The fact is, television is a business, and it's always going to go for the lowest common denominator', says Lauryn Axelrod, author of TV-Proof Your Kids, a parent's guide to network television. 'Will we see the F-word on network television? I've no doubt about it. Will we see graphic sex or public executions on television? I'm sure. There's nowhere else to go but down ...' The aim, says Axelrod, shouldn't be to censor disturbing or icky entertainment or try to return to a more pristine past, but to become educated consumers of culture, not merely passive swillers of the vilest pop-culture dreck. 'Television can be disgustingly awful, and it can be wonderful and enlightening, and somewhere in the middle is Gilligan's Island. But it's not going away.' "

The end conclusion of this author, who has authored a book against this type of TV programming, is precisely the end result of the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan: she is suggesting "positions to moderate the extreme ... she is accepting the premise, challenging, instead, the means to ACHIEVE it".

If this author, who is purporting to advise parents on how to protect their children from the vile programming of TV today, is suggesting that we just live with this situation, our society is in deep, deep trouble.

We are in deep trouble with God for allowing our society to become such a terrible influence upon our young children. Consider what the Bible has to say about these matters.

1) Phillipians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Certainly, no parent should allow their children to watch this stuff, and no society that honors God should allow it, either. Notice that, in the article, above, no person defending this garbage said it was pure, or just, or lovely. They just said that society needed it.

2) Psalm 139:14, "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." We are fearfully and wonderfully made, because we are created in the image of God. Listen: "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." [Genesis 1:27]

The major reason Judeo-Christian society has always frowned upon such vulgarity as we have described, above, is that our bodies were created by Almighty God, and our spirits and minds were created in His image. We just did not speak like this about His creation, because we respected Him too much! Obviously, we are now speaking vulgarly of His creation because we no longer respect Him, nor love Him any more!

3) Jesus warned about denigrating a person, as that kind of speaking and behavior could land you in Hell. "whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." [Matthew 5:22b] The Amplified Commentary notes that this word, "fool", literally means "You cursed fool", or "You empty-headed idiot!" Of course, when we denigrate people by calling them empty headed, we are denigrating the God Who created that person. Certainly, this entire evil of speaking abusively of others in terms of their bodily fluids or functions, or in sexually implicit terms, denigrates the very body which God so lovingly created. Remember, too, that Jesus Christ possessed the same human body as we do, so we are denigrating Him when speak in this manner.

What does God say to do when we see evil growing up in our society? Are we to tolerate it, as Steps 5 and 6 of the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan advocate, and which the above author, Axelrod, suggests? No, a thousand times no! Listen to what God says society should do when it finds evil in its midst.

"So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee." [Deuteronomy 13:5b]

By the way, this is the rationale for the Death Penalty for various crimes in society, to put away the evil from the midst of the society. To tolerate crimes such as witchcraft or murder is to ensure that others within the society would soon become infected with the same mindset. God never intended for the Death Penalty to deter crime; rather, He meant for it to permanently remove the perpetrator from society.

When righteous people cannot keep evil from growing within the society, God steps in for physical judgment. We encourage you to read carefully the full text of Ezekiel 9, as God describes the physical judgment He has proclaimed upon Israel, after she had sinned against God for over 120 years of specific warning. Notice especially verses 4-5, where God withholds His hand of Judgment until the righteous people can be protected.

Now, notice the ultimate warning to the righteous within a wicked society, in Revelation 18, as God is about to destroy an Economic Babylon, which I believe is the United States of America [Read Radio Transcript CE1038 for full details]. Listen to Jesus' warning:

"Come out from her [wicked Economic Babylon], my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues. For her iniquities, crimes, and transgressions are piled as high as heaven, and God has remembered her wickedness and her crimes, and calls them up for settlement." [Revelation 18:4-5, Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

I can most definitely see America's sins piling like corkwood, high unto Heaven. Soon, God will call them up for judgment. Remember, we are living in the End of the Age, the Age of Antichrist. Since he will be the ultimate "Man of Sin", we should expect that the society in which he will be accepted must be conditioned beforehand with his values. This scenario is exactly what we are witnessing today, in so many facets of our society -- Economically, Spiritually, and in our Government. We are descending into the spiritual quagmire; are you allowing your children to sink into it also? Do not forget that you are responsible to Jesus Christ for the way in which you have raised your children. If you allow this spiritual and mental poison to enter your child's head, when you might have acted to prevent it, you will be as guilty of ruining that child as are the TV creators and the programmers who are bringing it to society. Remember Jesus' warning against causing a child to lose his faith?

"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" [Matthew 18:6-7]

Christian parents, are you allowing your innocent children to come under the influence of this terribly wicked society? I am listing, below, the many influences in our society today which are devastating your children. Save them from this evil, in the name of Jesus Christ and for all that is Holy, Pure, Good, and Godly.

* TV, movies, and videos

* Certain magazines, especially glamour and TV magazines

* Rock Music -- the entire Industry

* Most computer games, especially those which depict graphic scenes of violence and/or scenes based upon witchcraft.

* Cartoons that are violent, or which depict situations that are totally non-Christian

* Public Schools are the meeting ground for all students within society. Children, whose parents have been protective, will learn all of the terrible values anyway, so it is extremely important for Christian parents to remove their children as we advocated in NEWS1142, "Exodus 2000 -- Call To Withdraw Children From Public Schools".

Doubtless you can think of many more instances where our children are being victimized by our society, as American society completes its changeover from being based upon Christian principles to a society based upon Satanic values [which is basically "anything goes"].

Of course, this scenario was foretold in Bible prophecies at the End of the Age. But, Jesus commands us living at this time, not to participate in these sins, and we are always commanded to protect our children. This development is another positive proof that the End of the Age is truly upon us.

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually. If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.
