You sure you’re the “tea party” channel and not the taliban channel?

Larry - I don’t consider myself a prude and am mostly a live and let live type of guy.

However, I now have a 5yo, 4yo, and 2yo, and I never noticed how much crap is on television because I never had to worry about what my children see on television. I have found the answer though....... a beautiful invention called Tivo. I Tivo everything and simply forward through the commercials - especially when my youngsters are present! It makes watching television a more pleasant experience all the way around.

I understand why people get upset about it. People should be able to watch the superbowl with their kids. When you go from cute and funny commercials like the VW Darth Vader kid or Dorito’s puppy to GoDaddy smut its not appropriate for kids. Outside of a national event like that parents should carefully monitor what their kids have access too and watch and allow only that which they believe to be appropriate onto the screen.

If they could only do something about the obnoxiously loud commercials!

Argh.... I sound like a government interventionist prude!
