Boycott Hawaii 5-0
The latest remake of the old Hawaii 5-0 tv series violates a basic tennant of non-violence: They show sex followed immediately by violence.
For this reason I am urging people to not watch the new tv series Hawaii 5-0. It has been shown in studies that showing sex followed by violence on tv promotes violence against women by equating sex with rape. The primitive couch potato mind is unable to separate the sex from the violence, especially when it is shown in that particular order. The old Hawaii 5-0 series did not have this probelm, but the new one does. So much for trying to immitate the old series by having "retro" themes. The opening credits look the same as the old series (same tune and same hotel that Garret is standing on the balcony of and they even end it with a view of the top of a police car that looks simillar to the original.) Garret is a luetennant and his sidekick Danno is still on the force. That part is a hoot, but the rest of it doesn't bear watching.
