Do they lose site of the fact that if they can raise enough hell to get one or two shows off, the people that don’t like your shows have the same right etc...
The government that is able to block South Park(?) will be able to block Rush Limbaugh OR prevent people like Brent Bozell from publishing articles that are critical of them.
The old ‘be careful what you wish for’ holds true here.

This is one of the reasons major politicians can have male prostitutes working out of their homes, and yet still be among the most powerful men in our country.
So, in order to keep the bucks coming in, they appeal to man’s basest desires.
Don’t buy cable - problem solved! We got rid of cable in 2000, don’t miss it. :)

It is also decent-adult unfriendly. Some of it is unspeakably vile. Starting with the Viagra commercials.
