But it certainly would be good for ratings. Unfortunately a large percentage of people like to get caught up in sensationalist bandwagons. If they had gone on the show and discussed these films by saying that they weren't very well made, were formulaic, did little to advance the horror genre, and were bereft of much depth; who would be interested in watching?
However get on and create a sense of outrage about how they are corrupting the very fabric of society and how they are so unwatchable in their vile portrayal of gore and violence - there are many people who love to get on that bandwagon. Everyone wants to Think Of The Children!
