I understand the picture, but this smut didn't just come along with the advent of TV. Mankind has always had outlets for it's more base natures.
It's not the smut; it that it's now the everyday,everywhere you look smut.

Would you agree that it needs to get back in the closet with alot of other base sexual behaviours?

Remember when Playboy was actually salacious and titillating? Nowadays, young boys are bored by Playboy, they want a bigger rush. Very dangerous, IMHO.

There are many tools parents have at their disposal to protect their kiddies from the evils on TV.

On one hand, I see your point. Parents should be the first line of defense and much of the problem comes not from the stuff being on in the first place, but from parents not knowing or caring what their kids watch.

On the other hand, I think that your argument would be just as valid if we were discussing a paper plant dumping tons of dioxin in an aquifer, and you posted photos of Brita filters. "Protect your kids with these, it's not our problem."

We all have to live in the culture this stuff creates.

yep....with the most important "parental controll" being the Power button.

Sooner or later, we're gonna hear of children suing their parents for not allowing them to watch the latest Slutney whore-a-thon (the ACLU already thinks that kids have the right to watch anything with no restrictions), or we'll hear of kids suing any company which puts parental control features that coung "infringe on their 1st Amendment rights".

I think one of these two situations will happen :

1. The FCC decency regulations are declared unconstitutional, which results in the FCC being reduced simply to a federal organization which hands out TV/radio licenses.

2. Far-lefties are appointed to the FCC. In this case, the far-lefties running the FCC would change the definition of broadcast indecency to "politically-incorrect speech" ("politically incorrect" according to the far left, of course). This results in Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz, Bill O'Reilly, and Alex Jones being kicked off the radio. Then the FCC would expand its jurisdiction to cable (which means Fox News either goes far-left or goes off the air, and Hannity, O'Reilly, and Dobbs would be kicked off the air) and satellite radio (affecting Fox News Radio) and finally the internet (which means goodbye FreeRepublic.com, and since PeTA is a far-left organization, all anti-PeTA websites such as Consumerfreedom.com would be shut down as well).
