That's bull... You mean my option is to turn it off? Why... where is my freedom to watch my tv without porn? You can have your subscription channels, but on my public channels, I should have the absolute freedom to watch without being offensive.

Or change the channel. Or call the network and complain. Or call the fast food chain in question and complain.

The FCC was originally founded to make sure that different channels would not bleed over into one another's tranmissions. It had no power to control content. That should be left to the viewing public. We have many, many ways to regulate what is shown on even the public channels without ever having to resort to government regulation.

Others may find what you like to watch offensive to their tastes. When I see a "christian" minister on tv robbing senior citizens of their money I get offended.

So you believe you have an inherent right, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, not to be offended?

The "right to be offended" is what led to political correctness.

You have the freedom to try. Success is not guaranteed
