Hollywood, public health threat?

And yet another remarkable story cited by World Sex News. Highlights as follows: "Hollywood might be bad for your health... Blockbuster movies paint a consequence-free view of sex and drugs. "Dr. Hasantha Gunasekera, the study's lead author... said the findings are troubling, 'given the HIV and illicit drug pandemics in developing and industrialized countries'. "...Researchers studied a September 2003 list of the 200 biggest box-offices successes of all time... [and] of the 87 movies in the study, 28 contained sex scenes, a total of 53 scenes in all. Only one film 1990's 'Pretty Woman'... contained a 'suggestion of condom use, which was the only reference to any form of birth control'. "Most movies contained episodes of unprotected sex in which the 'only consequences were social embarrassment'. "'Basic Instinct' had six sex scenes, no birth control and no 'public health consequences' although death by ice pick was a threat... 'Die Another Day' contained three episodes of sex 'all new partners, no condoms, no birth control, no consequences at all' but at least no drug use. "Eight percent of the films contained depictions of marijuana use, and 7 percent other non-injected drugs... Characters smoked tobacco in 68 percent of the films and got drunk in 32 percent. "Only a quarter of the movies were entirely free of behavior such as unprotected sex, drug use, smoking and drinking..."
