but I wish the idiot politicians would tax porn like they tax alcohol and tobacco. How are you going to tax it? Most porn is now produced by overseas companies through the Internet. The brick-and-mortar porn businesses in the San Fernando Valley are a dying breed.
To: Ptarmigan
I believe you can ask the hotel to disable such channels when you check in. It's a good idea, if you're going to be leaving young people in their rooms while you do something else.
They'll just set a flag on the room, and the channels won't be available.

Porn is right wing.
^^
No, pornography is a weapon of the Left; it is anti-marriage and anti-family.
Murdoch is a slime ball if he supports it.

Porn is left wing. Tobacco is right wing. Notice if it is right wing the left wing taxes the hell out of it. I no fan of porn, but I wish the idiot politicians would tax porn like they tax alcohol and tobacco. So, if they pass a porn tax then it will be right wing and ok for Pubbies to dive right in?

"....you can be damn sure that the newspaper will take those corporate giants over a local strip club any day of the week.
I thought at first you said they will "...take those corporate giants over to a local strip club...."
Knowing media buyers, that method might work.

I am sure you can disable porn channels in your hotel room. You can't just access it without paying first. It is like Pay-Per-View, you have to pay to access see them. It is great especially if you have kids around.

Actually, most of the porn channels in hotel rooms have previews. Those are accessible by anyone with the remote, and without paying. It's a good idea to ask the desk to shut off all access to adult channels when you check in. They can, and will, do that for you.
The previews are pretty lurid...not what you want your kid viewing while you're out of the room.

My mom cut off Newsday and took the Post for years. She liked the op-ed pages, but in the past year or so they got too raunchy for her. It's really, really bad now.
She dropped the NY post this year and bought a computer. I put FR on as her start page. :)

"Previously, under British licensing rules, Rupert's Sky network was required to provide porn content produced by other networks. "
So British licensing requires networks to show porn?
For the list if you want it. FOX is not conervative, Murdoch just figured it would make money.

Speaking of it, I know hotels make a lot of their money through porn. Something they will not admit to. Even the family friendly ones. The porn in hotels is so profitable for the providers, they pay for the TV's in new hotels to induce the hotel owners to carry their channels. Plus, the hotels get a percentage of the take from the channels.

I must be missing something here Willie. I can't find high speed public rail transportation or layoffs and economic doom anywhere in this article. :^) (Thanks for posting this BTW)
