I'm not sure what controls exactly the FCC has on TV right now. I've seen lots of stuff on the TV that's over the top--Howard Stern, MTV, Girls Gone Wild commercials, etc. It seems like things are pretty lax right now. Sounds like some on this board wouldn't mind if things were even more lax. If there are rules that are not being enforced then they should be enforced. If there are not rules regulating this, then consumers should start contacting the stations and advertisers. I really am undecided what to do about it after that if the stations refuse to change their ways.
Like I said before, I don't want to live in a country like Holland or France where just about anything goes. Right now it's okay for a man in Texas to stick his a$$ in the air while on a bike because he's wearing a thong. Technically his anus and genitals are covered so society has to be subjected to his hairy butt riding around town. The change the channel method doesn't work in that scenario. He's obscene and should be ticketed. If he continues the behavior he should be taken to jail. . Anyway, I would blow up our TV if I could get away with it. Maybe I should start a campaign for all good Americans to blow up their TVs or we could do like the liberals do with guns and have buy back programs. Or the schools could endoctrinate the youngsters that cigarettes aren't evil and to be feared but TV stations and the evil they produce are--fat chance.
So, I think I understand some of your trepidations about having too much government control because I have some of those same concerns too, but I don't think that there shouldn't be any regulations, increases, or changes ever made.
IMO, it all comes down to the normalizing of depravity and obscenity in our society. That's why I brought up the NAMBLA scenario. It's outrageous that these people should be allowed to have a website but the ACLU says they should because it would be censorship otherwise. Who would of thought even 20 years ago that a group promoting the normalizing of "love" between a grown man and a young boy would been known about.
Wish there was some way to have a seance with the fathers of this country and ask for their guidance. It's definitely a different America than when they were around--some changes for the better and some for worse.
