Really people, blaming tv and the internet for YOUR kids behavior. They don't need tv to be vulgar. What happened to parents being in control of their kids and teaching them respect. I don't care for the "f" word, but it isn't going to corrupt your children to hear it a few times. If they are hearing it constantly, you must be letting them watch HBO or Showtime too often. But to also make this a liberal issue is hysterical. Really, the Supreme Court run by a bunch of self-righteous republicans being liberal. Too funny.
He's seriously got to be the worst Supreme Court Justice in history - I've never seen somebody so agenda-driven the way he's been with widening the 1st Amendment.
I won't be surprised if half his holdings (if not more) don't wind up standing the test of time.
The bankrupt state of Hollywood and the desparate behavior of all medias in general indicate the general public has already made a decision on this topic. We have a choice to turn off the raunchy shows and even cancel our cable TV hookups and buy the movies or shows we deem acceptable. How powerful is the pulics opinion and views, well just look at JC Pennys plunge in stock price. Wow, does that contradict the "polls".
Turn off your TV, ..or at least quit watching the shows that you know are vulgar and immoral anyway. You can pick and choose what you watch more accurately by using the internet instead of cable or satellite.
The Supreme Court has been following non-Constitutional paths for some time now. But this decision shows just how far they will go to avoid making a responsible decision. They (the producers) did not know there could be penalties for doing these things????? Just how lame an excuse is that?
Personall, this really does not affect me very much. The quality of most TV programs is pathetic at best. The only ones that crow about how good these are are either making them or "starring" in them. There has not been a decent show in years that I have enjoyed. The "family values" have basically fallen into the gutter anyway.
In either case, their egos are even more swollen than the national debt. Why else would they keep trying to tell me how to live my life and try forcing what THEY want me to do down my throat? Just because one can sing or act does NOT mean that you can or should try to rule my life. Your values, morals, or ethics (or in many cases, the lack thereof) are not more important than anyone else's. Nor does it mean that your opinion is worth more than mine.
F&^% the FCC & the kids too. It is up to the parents to decide what the kids watch, not the Government. It's ok in Europe to view nudity, but not in the good old USA. All we want to see here is a LOT OF VIOLENCE.
Most TV nowadays stinks so bad that my family and I don't watch any except for PBS and oldies stations anyways. (We don't get cable or satellite -- and save $30-plus a month because of it. We do get Netflix, however.) When we're not doing that, we play board games, video games, or do stuff on the Internet.
