"Supposedly the FCC's efforts to control indecent content are to protect children. Children watch cable TV like everybody else," said McCall. At some point, the federal government "is going to have to wrestle with this issue."

McCall predicts that the issue of regulating paid programming, when it comes up, is sure to be controversial. "It's going to be a hot (political) potato," he said.

Ya know, if you boldface every single word in a post, it kinda defeats the purpose.

But yeah, fuck that. Leave cable alone.

Damn that's are a good point. More boobies on cable tv please.

Seriously though - the argument for censorship on the airwaves is that radio frequencies are public domain (not exactly that but something along that line). With cable everything is owned by the cable companies, the private purchaser of cable television, and the cable stations. There should be no censorshp.
