Is there too much violence in movies and TV shows?

Director Ridley Scott has said that TV shows about murder and rape are ‘giving people ideas’...

Speaking to the Sunday Times he said: “Entertainment is, to a degree, a little twisted...what’s the matter with good, clean stories? If there’s one more TV show about a girl found in the woods who has been raped and dead for 25 years? Stop. It gives people ideas.”

What do you think? Is there too much violence in our entertainment?
