The bathroom is too dangerous anyway, they should be outlawed with this bill too. Particularly those with toilets that flush more than one gallon of water...oops, guess we've already legislated that issue as an environmental concern.

In France they almost have eliminated the need for commercials by putting into law a TV tax. Anyone who has a television, (proved by purchase), is assessed an annual tax paid directly to the government. Around 150$
On the half hour there are a few however, and most can tell by the editing where the additional commercials were placed for broadcast in the States.

Correction" Going into the bathroom after a man who has beans and franks for supper has "finished" up is dangerous...may well be a death sentence!

It's hard to imagine that there is a part of the US Constitution that deals with...Quantity of Water Per Flush. How prescient the Founders were!

with Senator Orrin Hatch a very Hollywood-friendly pol on his way out as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to be replaced possibly by Arlen Specter Great. Two senile old coots, who together don't have the intellectual horsepower necessary to plug in a VCR, are in the driver's seat.
The Republican Party is done, and needs to go the way of the Whigs.

I'm beginning to suspect that most of us vote for pubbies because we don't want the dems. And not necessarily because we like the pubs.

Arlen Specter has been Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for almost a year.
Who did you say was senile?
To: joshhiggins
By the way...very funny and well crafted. I enjoyed your work. Thanks!

Nice way to kill entertainment of the TV and movie sort. Next, there will be a law requiring US citizens to mandatorily watch 4 hours of TV per day.

This is from a year ago. Is there an update?

Funny analogy! And so true.
I believe that the American people are conservative. I'm hopeful that eventually, through their participation, we will get a Conservative majority in American politics.

In the bill's fine print it says that if you need to leave the viewing area, you must do in on "your own time" - during the program.
I wonder if TiVo is gathering statistics on the prevalence of fast forwarding through commercials.
