SABC3, Please use Common Sense!
This is probably the most useless rant, since the SABC cannot be bothered with their viewers.
Except when it comes time to demand tv licences.
Their latest scheduling masterpiece is to put movies with an age restriction of 18 on tv – at 7.30pm.
This past Friday evening, instead of cricket, they showed a movie called Savage Grace. The movie’s theme was incest and murder!
It depicted a mother in bed with her son and lover. And the son eventually killing her with a knife.
How do you open a dialogue with your children about that movie?
They followed it up at 10pm with Sleepers, a violent movie with sexual child abuse and murder!
While 10pm is a more appropriate time for adult theme’d movies, 7.30pm most certainly isn’t.
In recessionary times families stay at home and watch tv! Doesn’t the programming manager at SABC3 know this?
And it’s not as if there are choices on other free to air channels, unless you want to watch low quality violent films on etv’s “Friday Action Night”.
I guess that’s better than SABC3′s Friday Child Abuse Night!
