Legislating stuff parents should do
AC says, of regulating indecency on cable, etc., that:
As these things become the norm in households across the country how to we protect children from seeing images that they are not prepared to process.
My first thought is that’s what parents are for. But AC thought of that too and says:
It’s easy to put it all on the parents but how can two working parents, to say nothing of single parents, possibly monitor the media their children are exposed to?
It should fall on the parents. End of story. Turn the TeeVee off or set parental controls (which cable and satellite both come equipped with). If your child happens to catch Shannon Tweed naked and writhing on some guy at 3 in the morning on Cinemax; or violent war footage; or some midget porn, it’s your fault.
The only reason I get Skinemax is to see Shannon Tweed naked. And for the midget porn. It’s there. You can see it if you kind of squint a little. Conservatives love the free market, unless it involves titties.

So the V-chip that is in every single goram idiot box, thanks to mandate from our congress critters, was suppose to solve this problem.
I suppose it’s the idiots that can’t program a V-chip who are complaining.

My mom did a pretty good job of that, but it was my friend’s parents. What can my mom do about that? Was I to have no friends? I saw all sorts of age-inapropriate stuff. I have an idea, how about no women on TV. And no men either. It’ll just be “a bug’s life” and “cars” 24/6.
