I'm no prude, but Stern's show is indistinguishable from the "entertainment value" of a clogged up toilet at a greasy roadside truck-stop.

I don't necessarily disagree there. As a result, I simply use the radio dial or put in a Lynyrd Skynyrd CD.

My only major irk is with government bureaucrats.

Bro, you know I stand front and center with you on bureaucratic busy-bodyism, but if there IS a case to made for government regulation, one is regarding the public air waves and "decency."

My kid and I may turn off the set or channel, but what of the other group of indifferent parents who don't know or care about 13 year old mush-brained Johnny watching 'Bonzo (the chimp) Boffs Bimbo' on the WB? Is the Euro-Copenhagen model the direction we want to head?

Is there a societal intrinsic value and benefit to adhering to decency standards, OR is there not? That IMO, that is the question.
