Why are visual depictions of violence and certain "explicit" words o.k. in films Wal-Mart sells but not in music?

Well, because they are moronic hypocrites comes to mind.

Because the stupid US Music Industry has been used to promote violence amongst the youths of today. The lyrics encourage teenagers to shoot and kill, take heavy drugs etc. etc. It's about time a US company took a stand. Our Government (UK) warned the music industry to tone the lyrics down or else legislation will be introduced to censor and / or ban that crap. It's not music, it's a computer that makes terrible noises and people that shout, because they can't sing. Many US so called artists have links to crime, drugs and guns, some have been in prison others are in prison. Is this the example you want for your children? How would you feel if the police knock on your door now and told you that your son has been shot dead by some drugged up, gun toting teenager because a song told him that it's cool to kill? Instead of attacking Wal-Mart, you should be ashamed and be supporting them. You could then talk to Wal-Mart about taking the violent films off their shelves.
