Jack Bauer's Days are Numbered?: FCC May Regulate Violence on Television

The FCC has always regulated the use of profanity and nudity in television broadcasts and now they are thinking about regulating the depiction of violence of TV (at least during hours when children may be watching).

And here we go....


Hopefully Jack will just stop the FCC, the hell with Fayette

so no more running power drills into people's backs on tv! What is America coming too??????

Ugh. Just another example of the gov't abusing its power. What's next, censoring what people say in musical lyrics? Oh wait...

A good video which is pretty relevant:
YouTube - Frank Zappa on Crossfire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ISil7IHzxc)

How hilarious would it be if they had some promo for 24 that had Kiefer Sutherland showing up at FCC headquarters, shotguns blazing and totally blow a ridiculously fake looking hole in the head of the FCC.

God, I would love that.

I will have to say that turning on the TV with young children in the home is getting harder and harder every day. With that said I do not think this is a good idea as I can decide what should or should not be seen by my children. If they want a rating system that would be ok (I think thay may already have one) or if they wanted to encourage stations to have the violence on a latter time would be ok with me.

No kidding. I am of the same school of thought. Plus, with so many programming options you can select which programs are suitable for kids to watch. Isn't there something like V-chip technology that allows you to filter out programs that have violence, langiage, etc?

I myself am for it,I'm far from being a prude but the morals of this country are at an all time low and that shit they get away with on tv nowadays is terrible,and I'm talking abc,nbc,cbs,not cable.when i was growing up i had brady bunch and partridge family in primetime,now you get a guy getting a handjob at a massage parlor in the opening scene{new abc show,in case of emergency}

What's next, you won't be able to say **** on the Warpath?





j/k

****!!!!!!! you can't!
