For those of you who have ever watched the TV series the Walking Dead you'll notice that the characters in the show, although in the most terrifying and dangerous situations, very rarely use obscene language. This is due to the fact that AMC doesn't play R rated movies or TV series without editing them. However, if you have seen this series you'll undoubtedly have noticed it is extremely gruesome and violent, and in my opinion even more so than the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. But in the latest season of The Walking Dead the writers really out did themselves, by showing not one, but two of the main characters getting their heads smashed by a man with a baseball bat. On one hand I give props to the makeup and special effects crews for making the scene looks so realistic, but on the other hand this was not something I wanted to see, or for that matter could even believe they allowed on TV. Keep in mind the series is rated TV-14.
This led me to question why people are so quick to protect kids from the "bad" language that they no doubt use and hear with their peers on a daily basis, and yet no one has a problem with the extremely graphic violence in these TV shows. In my opinion the extreme violence in these shows is as bad or worse than bad language, and eventually the rating system will have to be updated or the shows will have to showcase less graphic scenes. Anyway, if you scroll down you can see the image of this graphic death below.....
