Minimum weight restrictions should not be placed on models.
The 'Harry Potter' books are not anti-Christian.
The MPAA rating system is not a reliable guide to a movie's content. http://www.toplessrobot.com/2008/07/the_8_pgrated_movies_that_should_not_have_been_rat.php
Art should not be defined.
Cosmetic procedures have a negative impact on an actor's career.
A small budget makes for a better horror film. Japanese originals had much smaller budgets than their American remakes, but were still much better. Peter Jackson's Dead Alive and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series were financed out of pocket, and have huge cult followings.
Jimmy Fallon is not a good replacement for Conan O'Brien on 'Late Night'. Not as he stands now, but he could grow into it.
"Noise" should be recognized as a music genre.
It is acceptable for directors to present altered versions of historical events. Why does art have to be accurate?
Record labels will not become obsolete. But their role will be different.
The music industry should not curtail the use of violent or offensive lyrics. If you don't like it, don't listen.
The concert stage is an appropriate venue to promote political views. Where can you express yourself, if not on a concert stage?
It is acceptable for people to wear fur. People should be allowed to choose how to dress themselves, no matter how poorly.
'American Idol' has no impact on the music industry.
Consumers should not have the option to purchase cable TV channels individually.
Theaters should allow parents to bring their babies into movies. But if the baby is disruptive, theaters should be able to ask the family to leave.
'The Golden Compass' does not promote atheism.
Celebrities are obligated to behave as role models. Everyone is a role model.
The WGA strike had a negative effect on the television industry.
It is acceptable for celebrities to sell photos of their children to magazines. They aren't forcing the world to care.
Reenactments should be used in documentary films. But they should be clearly labeled as such.
The government should not withdraw funding for art it considers offensive. If the government is to fund any art, it has no right to limit by "offensiveness."
Art depicting religious figures in an offensive manner should not be censored. Free speech. If you don't like it, don't look.
Printed books will become obsolete. New media will replace books as standard, but not necessarily tomorrow, and not necessarily with a medium that's currently available. And that's not to say books will completely disappear... there are still niche markets for vinyl albums, too.
