Smackdown is Banned in Indonesia
Did you know that starting from yesterday, all Wrestling programs such as RAW, Smackdown and ECW was banned from all TV station in Indonesia.
This happened coz of all the accidents that accure after the programs were broadcast in Indonesia, Kids that was hospitalized coz trying to copy the moves of their idols…
People blame the TV station that broadcast these programs and cosiders it as a violent program, and it doesn’t educate people at all… The fact is, these programs were broadcast at 10 PM. Not only it was BC at night, it also has a label “Adult/ 17+”. So, my question is, How the heck children can stay up that late and even watch TV without their parents notice. Or maybe, their parents loves Smackdown and watches it together with their child. Who knows… All I know is that one of my favorite TV shows is banned.
I agree that these programs are dangerous for kids, but we can not blame only the TV station, we have to blame our selfs, why can there be such accidents. All I can say is, these programs are entertainment programs, theres more violence in Indonesian series that they broadcast at 7 to 8 PM that is so not for children to watch (Rape, bad words in a confersation, blood everywhere.. If they wanna change how TV stations educate and entertain their audience, don’t pick only program that has done harm to children, but pick programs from all TV’s, and ban it if it has a bad effect to the audience. So, not only we have stop these incidents to happen, we have also prevent the incidents to happen again…
