Explicit Sex Returns To TV [Mainstreaming Homosexuality, Now Porn]

Go rent “8 ½ Women” and you’ll see all of Polly you’d ever want to see. Wow.

Who watches tv?

Why waste time?

We read out loud at our house. Much better for you. Much more entertaining.

Turn off the cable, Netflix will suffice, and so will the library.

[Mr. Blonde]

Even more than that, HBO or Showtime. It isn't like they are even on expanded basic in the US. I was always under the impression that Europe was always a little more open with those things anyway.

Equally, the revered men who made The Wire displayed a strong preference for nude scenes featuring top-heavy young actresses.

This reminds me of the commentary for an episode on Season 2. One of the characters had a very buxom girlfriend on the show and in one episode she is topless (although not a sex scene). The two actors commentating on the episode spend a good amount of time talking about her and seem pretty sad when they realize they aren't watching that episode.

And on that note, seriously, anyone who hasn't watched The Wire should do so immediately. Nothing on TV has ever come close to being as good as it was.

Most tvs have a channel selector not far from the on/off switch.

Still not sure what is so hard to understand about that one simple point...

If you don't like it... don't look. No one is forcing you.

I have never heard of Polly Walker but wow!:

The Rome series is top notch.

The same can be said for porn in public. No one has to look, but I think most people will still agree that porn magazines should be covered up on the shelves.

Another point worth mentioning is TV broadcasts are directly subsidized by the state through the infrastructure. It’s not unreasonable to limit what we sponsor. Nobody is saying that porn should be banned, just that it should be out of the public eye, not broadcast directly after children’s shows etc.

As a guy I don’t mind porn, but when I sit down to watch Stargate Universe with my sister I would rather not find myself watching softcore porn beside her... I expect this is true of most people. So why is it wrong to complain and try to make entertainment more family friendly? There is nothing wrong with a bit of social pressure.

[Perdogg]

I am not sure how it is in Europe, but in the US the reason people have premium cable, is for nudity, sex, and violence premium cable has to offer.

[Dead Corpse]

Change the channel. Stargate is on a PAY channel. Stop paying for it. Send them a letter telling them why you are stopping your support.

Do you REALLY want the PERVERTS in most world governments setting ANY kind of moral standard into codified law?

[liberalism is suicide]

It used to be that cable was a way to *escape* the filth fests on network TV. Not anymore.The sewer prevails almost everywhere on the electronic commode. TV:TeleVenom.

[Bellflower]

The dead devil is pushing filth down the throats of earth's people and they line up with their mouths open. People shouldn't be at all shocked when they wake up in the flames of hell and it's forever, forever existing, dead, but conscious.

>>>I have never heard of Polly Walker but wow!:

I have it on good authority Polly Walker doodles all the day.

For example, ads that briefly show a pair of women’s panties.

I see that Web site thinks an allegory for Jesus is a tool of the devil.

Not so much that, not really different from the swimming pool in what's shown. No, this is things that are being shown during programs designed for young children or whole families that are very age inappropriate - male enhancement, female "problems", raunchy late-night or adult-themed shows. I mean, I'd love to sit and watch the Power Block on Spike with my nearly six-year-old son because he likes cars, and he thinks a lot of the stuff they do is cool - sometimes lame - but you have to be a "Remote Ninja" to deal with it.
