More Proof It's The Boob Tube's Fault

We probably didn't need a poll to tell us that the Simpsons, Will & Grace, and MTV aren't exactly morally inspiring. But it might be worse than you thought.

The Media Research Center's Culture and Media Institute provided us with an extensive new poll that says those who watch four hours nightly volunteer less, are more likely to cheat on a restaurant tab, and accept less personal responsibility for things like retirement.

They're cool with divorce, premarital sex, and skipping church. The reason: Seventy-three percent say Hollywood hurts traditional moral values.
