I finished a copy of Foley is Good loaned by a friend yesterday.

(I know, I'm many months late, but work with me.)

What was most interesting was his chapters of views about the "wrestling is to blame for all society's ills!" school of thought, and the PTC. There was particularly interesting facts in that chapter:

• Mick compared their practices to those of the McCarthy era in the US - and learned from Linda McMahon that Brent Bozell (Leader L. Brent Bozell III's father) was a speech writer for McCarthy.



• Said father tried to convince the government to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Moscow.



• The PTC use a slightly modified form of the 'Red Scare' tactics on sponsors: withdraw or have the PTC call you supporters of child murder.



• Of the four child murders they cite as proof of Smackdown! being a cause, 3 of them occured before the show even premiered, and the one during (the Lionel Tate incident we often hear about) had the wrestling accusation thrown out in court as invalid.

Fascinating points. Also, the PTC only count the incidence they determine as vulgar (often just counting the same act multiple times); none of them actually watch the program.
