Letter to the Editor

To the Editor,

I am Kathleen Politis and I am writing in because I find that the article written you Mr. Bolt in the Herald Sun concerning the so called ‘controversial’ show ‘Californication’ on Channel 10 is absolute rubbish and is a very one sided article. I am quite disgusted at the statements made by Mr Bolt, he constantly refers to the show as having no storyline but instead just soft core porn. Seriously Mr Bolt shouldn’t you be making that assumption after watching more than one show. You also state that the show destroys all moral values, honeslty do you know the meaning of moral values? You change your argument throughout your article from complaining that the show is basicly soft core porn to talking nonsense about moral values. I honestly think you should re think what you are going to write and check if it has anything to do with your contention. Out of a small survey I have conducted throughout my school, 92% of people disagree with your article.

I think you have shocked many people with your article, because I personally do not appreciate your outlook on ‘Californication’.
