Oh, and before I get labeled a nanny-stater, let it be known that I don't agree with having the rules, I just want to see them applied consistently if we are going to be subject to them.

George Carlin, IIRC, had a routine about indecency on the radio and TV. He would hold up two fingers and say "There are two knobs on every single radio and television in the world - TWO KNOBS! One turns the channel and the other turns it off. If you don't like what you are hearing or seeing, TURN THE CHANNEL OR TURN IT OFF"!

Don't restrict my freedoms just because you are offended or can't raise your children right.

Now we can see why there are so many infomertials on all the time. Almost anything offends somebody and a lot of our fellow freepers have as many tripwires as liberals.

No violence...no sex...no offending words or terms that might even indirectly be racist, sexist, homophobic...

And then you wonder why there are 250 channels showing infomertials and most of the time there's not a thing to watch. What a bunch of old ladies we've become.
