The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Anyone want to bet on whether we hear about ...

... the Surgeon General's report on TV violence in the next few days as people again blame the tools rather than the tool user? 

 "The resulting Surgeon General's report and a follow-up report in 1982 by the National Institute of Mental Health identify these major effects of seeing violence on television:
  • Children may become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others
  • Children may be more fearful of the world around them
  • Children may be more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others"

 see: http://www.apa.org/research/action/protect.aspx for the source of the quote

 TWW's rant: if TV cannot show people copulating on TV why can they show people killing each other? Which activity is more pornographic?
