The V chip ratings are all self-imposed.
What rating would Linda Ellerbee on Nickelodeon talking about Clinton, BJs, and impeachment have gotten?
Networks used to have a "standards and practices" department. They don't appear to regulate their own content anymore.
And does the V chip also screen out the tv promos (for network shows) that also cross the line with bathroom humor?
Being on my own, I never had to look into the VChip or how it operates. I was just providing an option that may be worth looking into.
