6.  Do you think today's actors are worth their mega-salaries? Yes
No
I never thought about it

7.  Why do Hollywood elite actors, actresses, producers and directors so aggressively promote left wing ideas? They follow & copy each other
They are so rich they think they can save the world
They want no boundaries upon their behavior
They are not well educated enough to evaluate ideas
They think it's cool

8.  Hollywood creates movies and TV shows containing violence, disgusting juvenile
    behavior, degrading sexual talk and activities, pointless and repetitious attempts at
    humor such as trite bathroom humor.  Yet the actors' personal lives consist of whining
    about excessive violence and unfairness in our culture.  These over-paid actors are
    unable to think clearly and understand that they themselves contribute to much of  the
    low class, filthy behavior prevalent today.
Agree
Disagree
Wrong.  My friends & I are responsible for today's juvenile, low class, pointless behavior

9.  It is often observed that today's TV and Hollywood actors and executives are
     politically to the left or liberal.  Why do you think this is often true?
They are so wealthy they can only afford to be liberal
They make their money in producing and acting in productions that require a liberal, very accepting stand
They want to share their fine skills & arts with complete freedom for all to see
I never thought about it

10.  It is observed that after playing politically or socially involved characters, TV and
    Hollywood actors are seen testifying before Congress or states legislatures.
    Names include Rosie O'Donnell, Alex Baldwin, Barbra Streisand, Warren Beatty,
    Susan Sarandon, Ed Asner, etc.)  Why do you think playing a character makes an
    actor qualified as an expert witness on political or social issues?
They are very smart people who could have been brain surgeons but chose acting to make lots of money
They are self-promoting
They want to share their wisdom with the masses
I never thought about it

11. Today's TV talk show hosts sometimes become active in political and social
       issues.  They spend their own money to promote or fight causes.
       Do you think talk show hosts have much impact on mass opinion?
Yes
No
I never pay any attention to them

12.  Hollywood actors should stick to acting and stop pretending to be politicians
        and statesmen.
Agree
Disagree

13.  When I see the Hollywood elite aggressively pushing political causes: I ignore their words
I refuse to pay for any performance they participate in
I go out of my way to buy anything they do
My reaction & future purchasing depend upon whether or not I agree with them

14. Hollywood and TV actors and the characters they portray are often believed to present role models and define the mannerisms and way average people tend to be in their daily lives.  Today most actors and the characters they play are low class, dirty, uneducated and get ahead through illegal and shady methods.  The Fred Astaire's, Cary Grant's, Ethel Merman's, Larraine Day's, Jane Powell's, etc. type actors and characters are not present in today's entertainment.  Instead we are presented with the Bruce Willis's, Arnold Schwarzenegger's, Penelope Cruz's, Nicole Kidman's, Catherine Zeta-Jones's, Gwyneth Paltrow's, etc.
Do you think today's types explain why so many average people are violent while driving and at work and so often dress in sloppy clothes?
Yes
No
That sounds silly, but may be at least partially correct

15. Today's reality TV shows (Osbournes, Dwarf dating, American Idol, Survivor, etc.) are side shows like those our grandparents saw at carnivals and circuses. Agree
Disagree

16.  I watch realty TV shows: Almost always
Sometimes

Never

17.  Reality TV shows should be eliminated. Most of them
Some of them

Keep them coming

18. Do you have any thoughts about today's entertainment?
