Response:

I see many ungodly things at work. The way people talk and walk. The
clothing that they wear. Should stay home from work...

I see many things at the Mall and the Stores that are ungodly. They
don't edify me, should I stay home from the Malls and stores?

I see many things as I drive down the road, they don't edify me, they
dont please God. Should I stay away from driving?

Living in this world, we are going to see things that bother us. My wife
and I have seen things in our neighborhood that really bother us. They
don't edify us, in fact they down right grieve us. Yet we minister to
those people. 

Burying your head is not an answer, it is a reason for judgment without
fact.

(By the Way, I do not own a TV, will not own a TV, could care a less
about the TV. Its the principal that I am debating.)
