Why in the hell are they showing Jerry Springer as soon as School lets out and my kids get home? I walked in the living room the other day to my kids watching Lesbian Strippers fighting topless and arguing about who could perform the best cunnilingus. Entertaining, maybe, appropriate for broadcast television airing when children walk in the door from school? HELL NO.

I personally don't approve of ANY sexual connotations of any kind in media marketed to children.

What goes on in Sponge Bob's bedroom needs to stay in his bedroom off camera.

But the problem here is way beyond just spongebob, like I said earlier, Lion king 1/2 was pretty blatantly homosexually oriented. Let's keep sex in the adult markets where it belongs, if I want my son or daughter' to know more about sex, straight or gay, I'll be the one to explain it to them. That's the way it should be.

Spoken with obvious understanding of family values. Nice

Maybe someone needs to learn about the v-chip ... but the air times vary and channel access can be controlled.

Can I install it myself?

I was waiting for someone to post this nonsense. It continues to amaze me that some individuals will feel threatened by anything no matter how imaginary. What is wrong with these people. So what if a cartoon is teaching tolerance?

Isn't that a good thing?

I was under the assumption that most tvs these days already came with it. You may have it and not realize it. Check your manual that came with the tv.

What exactly does the V-chip filter?

Does the V-chip prevent my kids from seeing adult content on my neighbors tv's? How about the tv's at school? Daycare?

What is the FCC's job anyway? Do I get to have a reduction on taxes since I'm filtering my own communcations?
Originally posted by lost1
However, the FCC can only act AFTER something has been aired.
Their jobs are based off of what people find objectionable. If you see something on tv that you didn't like, you have the right to report it to the FCC. If enough people complain, the FCC can fine the broadcasting company.

I was just stating that most people blame the tv before they blame themselves...Sit down and talk to your children about why you don't want them to watch certain shows.

Weird! I didn't know that holding someones hand represented homosexuality!
Originally posted by lost1
That would mean if I helped an old man across the street and held his hand, I would be displaying homosexuality. If I were to referee a boxing match and lift up the winners hand, I would be displaying homosexuallity. Perhaps, playing red-rover with my pals would be displaying homosexuality because we are holding hands. Show me something that states holding another mans hand is a sign of homosexuality!

Rainbows! The gay community adopted this to be their symbol to let others know that they are "on board".
Originally posted by lost1
So now, Spongebob sprays a rainbow above his head and we accept the fact that it is a symbol of gay pride rather than what it really is?

I hope that when you are on your death bed, your son is too afraid to hold your hand in comfort because he might be afraid you will think of him as homosexual.
