You might also like to consider the affect all this has on the brain, particularly of our young people who are now exposed to this stuff from an early age. I'm not sure if any serious research has been carried out but I know from my own experience that a sequence of rapidly changing images can & does bring on a migraine attack. The human eyes & brain are unable to cope with this sort of thing. This is the reason I refuse to watch anything likely to "feature" it. The fact that a warning is broadcast before a programme containing any strobe effects is shown proves to me that this is well known to the broadcasters themselves. Unfortunately even a rapid battery of camera flashes on a news programme can set it off for me.

I feel that the entertainment industry needs to take a good look at itself & seriously consider where it is going. People might think I'm an griping old fogey but I still consider myself young-minded & liberal. I played regularly in a rock & roll band that started back in the early 60s before the Beatles were heard of & did so for something like 12 years afterwards. I remember when discos raised their ugly heads in the early 70s that strobe lighting over a certain frequency was banned in the UK due to the health dangers. This was not enforced in some parts of Europe & I felt ill & actually fell over when entering a disco in Spain with the strobe effects going flat out.

I could go on about sound volume & mumbling actors but will leave it here for the moment. I often wonder what some youngsters will be like when they reach my age, that's if they ever do of course.

I can vouche for the sound volume, i have exposed myself to hundreds of rock concerts in the past, and now at 35 my hearing is less than what it should be! What?
