Tonight, I had a test for my Mass Media course. This was one of the questions on the test. Lets see how my fellow crappers fare against what the experts say in the text. I will reveal the correct test answer after enough people have voted.

The answers got cut off to the space. Here are the full answers.
a. Professional wrestlers flout stringent anti-drug regulations seen in other sports.
b. It takes audience share away from real sports.
c. Simplistic storylines dumb down audience expectations for other types of entertainment.
d. It glamorizes violence and encourages dangerous imitations of moves.

D Pro Wrestling is rotting our youth's minds. Just like, video games, music, movies, TV, the internet, comic books, and pretty much every other aspect of entertainment.  |

A common complaint from WHOM?
Nitwit parents who would rather have the government censor everything than take an active role in what their kids see and do would likely answer D, whereas the complaint I think most of us (the IWC) would issue lies somewhere between A and C.

It's a mass media course?
Answer is obviously D. The other 3 are too wrestling-specific to be a part of mass media.

Wrestling encourages hyper masculinity according to the only book on the history of pro wrestling in my college library.

It has to be D. Some people try to imitate what they see on TV, that includes stuff like wrestling that is fake, but they still try to do the moves as they seem, not how they are.

But not good ole fashioned war! Parents, do right by your kid's future, enlist Little Billy today, send him somewhere where he'll be kept safe from the horrors of fictional violence! Wrestling encourages hyper masculinity according to the only book on the history of pro wrestling in my college library. *Looks at Kong's sig* *Looks at Kong's post* *Looks at Kong's sig* . . .

Yeah, D. As if other sports obey their own drug policies. Kids injuring themselves in Backyard Wrestling seems to be the most prominant problem. Although, if were a Women's Study course, I would agree with Kong.

I think it's all of them.
I once read in a text book that wrestling is no more than a way of venting repressed homosexual urges, I don't think the author was a wrestling fan.

well, I know C isn't true in my case. Real sports bore me to tears. It's mostly the repetition. Wrestling is something for ADD kids to watch  |

... Especially some of the "sports" you're bound to see on Sports channels nowadays, like Poker Tournaments (I wish I was kidding).
