I mean, every time I go to Canada, I'm amazed at what I see on television. I've seen full frontal nudity and a slew of four letter words on broadcast television up there. Ironically, there's less violence up there. In fact, it's just the opposite! Crossing the Ambassador Bridge is quit surreal. In under two minutes, one goes from being in one of the most dangerous areas of North America to one of the safer areas of North America. Why? Because the violent criminals are at home with their pants around their ankles watching soft-core porn on broadcast television!!

In all seriousness, I find the FCC rules insulting. From the day Americans are brought into the world, we're told about freedom of speech. Yet, my government thinks I should be limited in what I can see and hear on television and radio. They don't think that as an adult I'm able to decide for myself what I want to see or hear. What's free about that?
Hmmmm. Canadians aren't violent because they're too busy masturbating to porn at all hours of the day? That's a bit of a stretch.

Would you like the FCC to go the way of the dinosaurs? I agree that I should be able to watch what I want no matter what, but I don't think network television should be playing stuff like "Pulp Fiction" and "Striptease" in the afternoon or at 8 PM.

As for what is on TV right now, if no one likes it, get off your fat ass and change the channel, IMO.
