Personally, the use of the word “duh” really bothers me, but somehow the intellectually-challenged expression for “you idiot” or “tell me something I don’t already know” seems to fit this three-year study about how teens who watch more television are more likely to initiate sex. Really? Who would’ve thought that? Do you think perhaps incivility and violent behavior in younger people have anything to do with the explicit scenes teens see on TV and in the movies?

Researchers need to get right on a new study to find out if movies, advertisements, electronic games and just general public behavior have any influence on teens and their behavior. You’re almost guaranteed to find out they do. So what’s the point of the study.
It’s not like the purveyors of entertainment are going to stop making the money they rake in.

Another September Georgia football game appears headed for a live television broadcast.

Look for an announcement this week that FSN South will show Georgia’s Sept. 6 nonconference home game against Central Michigan. Kickoff would begin shortly after 3:30 p.m.

The regional sports network has a reach of more than 12 million homes on cable and satellite in seven states in the Southeast. It last showed a Georgia football game in 2004 against Georgia Southern.

Central Michigan has won the Mid-American Conference title the past two seasons.

With the Central Michigan game airing, all of Georgia’s games in September will be on live TV.

The Sept. 13 SEC opener against South Carolina will be shown on CBS at 3:30 p.m. The Sept. 20 game at Arizona State is slated for 8 p.m. on ABC and the Sept. 27 game against Alabama was a priority selection for ESPN.
