My daughter was about 3 or 4 when I saw her sitting on the floor in front of the tv watching the skank madonna crawling around kissing some guys feet.
I called the cable company and told them to disconnect mtv.
They said "We can't. It's part of the basic package."
So I told them to turn off the basic package. They said "We can't. Then you won't have any channels at all."
I said I didn't care, turn it all off, I don't want that crap in my house.
She asked me to hold and came back in a couple of minutes and told me that mtv was disconnected, but the basic package was still on.
That was step 1. A few days later I called them back and cancelled my cable subscription totally. It was the best move I ever made for my kids. We raised them with books, sports, and family outings. The kids turned out great and now support themselves.
We now have our basic package back so we can check the weather, FNC, and my favorite preachers.
