I was a bit ticked off to read that the US government is now trying to regulate what they think is indecent on Cable TV. The last I checked the government only applies standards on broadcasts used on the public airwaves such as the big networks. I don’t understand how they can apply broadcast standards to cable channels that I pay to have, that DO NOT go over the public airwaves. If you want to edit content that kids can get to why don’t parents take some control of their kids lives, or maybe get a V-Chip and use it. My mom was a teacher for like 30 years and agrees with me on this one. Instead of regulating how to be a good parent, get people to parent their kids and let adults watch what they want to watch.
I have heard about this legislation before, but it looks like it is becoming more of a reality now. I wonder what else the government thinks they need to regulate since they think i am too stupid to think for myself.
