I just came across this amazing website FlowTV. The description says it's a "critical forum on television and media culture published by the Department of Radio, Television, and Film at the University of Texas at Austin. Flow’s mission is to provide a space where the public can discuss the changing landscape of contemporary media." Some of the articles are crap, but I also found a whole bunch of very interesting ones. If you're looking for a thesis topic or some intriguing stuff on TV studies, check out this website. Praise postmodernism - and its anything goes principle!

Use of language and swearing
Today I came across a club who is against swearing. I wanted to see their logic so I went to the site and it really got me thinking. Lots of people on the site write about how we are allowed/supposed to use language and how certain words affect us (e.g. the argument "they're just words" vs the idea that words can actually hurt people).
