Censorship in no way shape or form. I dont want the gummint telling me what I can and cant watch, I dont care what it is. When I rent movies for my little ones I only let them watch them after I have seen them first, I dont give a shit what it is, I watched Finding Nemo before I would let my kids watch it. If there is something in there that I dont think that they should see they aint watching it. Example: Land before Time I wont let them watch it, nothing against vegans I personally dont have a problem with it but this whole "the meat eaters are bad the plant eaters are good" shit is a bit over the top. I will teach them what is right and wrong not the TV. Maybe I am reading into it 2 much, but if I see it.....


I also wouldnt let them watch the Teletubbies I swear that is some form of government mind control.

First off, television in general is poor. Watching a movie on television with commercials is enough to turn me off; let alone when movies are edited for television. I simply don't watch them. That's why there are pay channels, pay-per-view and DVD retail and rental.

I think the FCC is doing a horrible job with network and free cable station broadcasts; very inconsistent. They'll cut a movie like "Blazing Saddles" to shreds, eliminating the "nigger" jokes (remember this was co-written by Richard Pryor) because some people will find that offensive, fine, yet they leave in all the gory violence of "Starship Troopers" which they have aired in the morning, afternoon and evenings.

However, what really pisses me off, is that if I'm watching a family oriented program with kids, the lousy networks are showing totally inappropriate commercials (trash sex with blurred naked people, police violence, etc.). That's where I think guidelines, not censorship, are needed and should be enforced. If the program is child friendly (i.e. rated G or PG) then everything up until the closing credits should have that rating.

I'm not saying they need to cut out those shitty, made-for-losers-with-no-life-reality shows or other crap programs (to each his own), but don't litter unrelated programming with innappropriate crap via commercials. That's where parents and guardians have no chance.

Censorship is bullshit. Add a v-chip to every piece of media hardware, and make the parents program it. If they really want to get sophisticated about it, they could have settings that would edit out certain words and scenes, so mom and dad can be watching Aliens on Sci-fi, while the kids have it on in the room, and the parents hear hudson screaming "Die Motherfucker!" while the kids hear "Fly, motherbrother!" or some other mindless bullshit. At leaast it puts the ciontrol in the hands of the people who are ultimately responsible, whetehr they want it or not.

Give that to the bible belt, let them set the default to "Jimmy Swaggart approves", and the tv will cut out cops, discovery science, or any non-christian jokes on the siompsons :rolleyes:
