Yesterday, when we visited a local medical center for a brief appointment, my wife and me were subjected to a "nonsense" TV show, and I won't mention the specific name because I refuse to promote it with any publicity. It featured - and don't think that I intently watched it; it was loud enough and on a big screen television hung high on the wall, all of it a deterrent to peaceful waiting -- ego-driven drivel, a sexual scene...I won't go further.
To each his own, I guess, but why would the staff at the center "entertain" visitors in this manner? Also, it's shame those on the show have such a forum to showcase themselves and their nonsense. Luckily our time there was limited. I wonder what kind of welcome it would be if a shelving of books, inspirational books, were instead waiting for visitors to select from? Rather than have to listen to the noise and view garbage emanating from the big screen, customers could sit in calm, rather than be irritated and insulted by a television show, and enjoy inspirational words of great authors. Just my opinion. Steve
