North American television subscribers are subject to see 200,000 acts of violence broadcasted on TV, on average, by the age of 18. Television subscribers in Asia outnumber those from other countries, and those viewers in China are subject to many censorships bans including bans on talking animals and programs showcasing a lack of positive thinking.
