It should be added the the Parents Television Council usually accounts for 90-95% of all indecency complaints to the FCC. The PTC claims 1 million members, yet games the FCC system to make TV viewing decisions for individuals in 110 million TV households.
Where's the democracy, let alone small-government conservatism, in that?

I'm not saying I am defending the PTC, but look at us on FR. We are a collection of individuals who on occasion write to out law makers and other executives in an attempt to influence policy.
Where's the difference?

First come, first serve. Ifthe 109 million other viewers want their voice to be heard, then they need to be as vocal as the PTC has been.

The queer commercials have started showing up, which make me want to puke! I've seen ones for homosexual dating services during what you'd think was a relatively harmless show. I can't recall if it was broadcast or a satellite channel.
Not to mention Bob! And Cialis. And all of the other "quality of love-life" crap that's on there. TV is getting more sexual every day, and less of what Mr. Rogers had in his vision of the good that it could do.
