"Isn't our country wonderful? You get to choose what you watch on television.
And unfortunatly you are forced to explain to your kids why they can't watch a program open to the public on cable about the mis-information it expells. I believe in freedom of expression, but there is a limit to what should be uncontrolled. If you want PPV, that's fine. But don't put it where children are placed in the position of trying to comprehend the questionability of it's motives.

Oh, I don't know. It seems to me that if you're not ready to explain to children why they can't view television programming, then perhaps you're not ready to have children.
There are lots of adult things on TV that are inappropriate for children, and for a lot of reasons. If you're looking for a white-washed television environment, you're not going to find it.
Seems to me that it's time to start figuring out how to explain these things to your children. They're going to encounter lots of adult subjects out there. Or, shut down your television or block all the channels that might have such content.
Your children do not coopt my rights to view programming not suitable for children. It is your responsibility to filter your own children's access to all the media.
