Uh..., hey, just in case you didn't know...there is a little button on your TV...some call it the on-off button.
Use it.
In case you can't find that button, then just go to the wall and pull the plug from the socket.
All this nanny-state crap is just that...crap.
Why do you think you have the exclusive province to decide what I or anyone else watches on TV or reads in a book?
Or that you have the right to control what someone writes in a book or creates as a TV show or movie?
I agree that some of the content of the stuff being put out this day and age is beyond the bounds of decency, but I refuse to follow some taliban-like edicts from a radical religious fundamentalist with delusions of forcing everyone else into his/her chosen lifestyle.
Government intrudes into my life enough as it is.
I don't need any more intrusions.
And just to make sure that we understand one another...I suggested you use the on-off button, but if you don't wish to, then hey, I really don't care, since it's your life, your business, and what you do, in the privacy of your home, is none of my business.
Let's keep it that way.

I consider myself a religious fundamentalist, but I agree with you about government intrusion. TRUE religious (Christian) fundamentalists believe in the free will of man, and less government.
Just to be clear, the Hays Code was not a government nanny state program.
