The V-chip wasn't enough. America's parents need to have specific family-values TV bundles so they can sleep secure in the knowledge that the electronic babysitter won't corrupt their little woogums.
It's about time.
If they get their family bundle of approved, squeaky-clean channels, maybe they'll stop trying to censor and cancel all the other shows on TV. I myself am not into all the filth and depravity, but I do like a good action movie now and then. And shows like The Wire, where the grit and obscenity are just reflections of real life.
Thing is, I don't care what you watch. But these family groups do. They can't seem to turn off the TV every once in a while, or take the remote from the kids, or the TV out of their bedrooms. So that means the rest of us can't watch anything they think is inappropriate for their kids.
Until now?
Of course, I don't really believe that this is the end. These folks just use kids as an excuse. They won't be happy until we're all watching Blue's Clues, Fox News and Good Morning America.
