Ok....

I am all for parents taking an interest in their children. I would also support a parent blocking tv shows and channels to protect their child.

I am, however, against people blocking and banning shows without having first seen themselves.

It is just another absentee parenting ploy.

"Yes, I care. I blocked those Nickelodeon shows, because they are communist propaganda."

Yeah....way to know your kids, douche bag.

Btw, previous absentee parent devices, which they have since denounced:

Teddy Ruxpin
The NES
The Super NES
TV
The VHS Player

Need I go on?

We must not allow a dash protection gap!

He forgot the other means at their disposal, such as telling their kids, "No, you can't watch that." Heaven forbid if anyone had to do any actual parenting.

By the way, you really should have proofed that article.

::dies:: OMG!

This guys once spawned a wrestling gimmick known as RTC ('Right to Censor') after they attacked WWE programming back in the day!

If you want to get a true insight to their leader's douschebaggery, I suggest reading Mick Foley's second book 'Foley is Good (and the real world is faker then wrestling).'

Wow! I had thought, nae, dreamed they were dead. And maybe burning in Hell!

From what I gather from the article, the group is saying that prime time television is family time? In my family we called prime time homework time, and if we finished our homework our parents watched television with us. What parent thinks their kids would rather watch "Without a Trace" anyway...I'm an adult and I think it's boring, imagine what their ritalin soaked brains must think of all that droning?

I also find it interesting that of the green lighted shows many of them are a) not in the prime time slot, b) no longer producing new episodes or c) encourage laughing at people with obvious handicaps (idol) or unsuspecting victims of what are probably really lame pranks.

What this says to me? It says that they may have one thing right...prime time isn't for children...that's why they don't advertise <insert children's toy/food establishment here> during the ten o'clock news. It also tells me that laughing at a woman with down syndrome trying to carry a tune (who does not get paid for her appearance on idol) is less deplorable than Steve Carrel making a wise crack about the mentally handicapped on "The Office"?

Is that a redhead at the bottom of the article???

Everyone knows that redheads are Irish... and the Irish like booze!!!!

Booze leads to teen pregnancy.... and then to ABORTION!


SHAME ON YOU

I'm starting to lose faith that a new zeitgeist will arrive in which parents actually take an interest in their children's lives.

These people feed their children fear. It's disgusting.

Their website is a very complete, very thorough catalog of sex and violence. You don't even have to watch TV to see some quality television sex. All you have to do is go on the Parents Television Council's website and get it aaallll for free - attaboys! That's one way to get rid of filth - carefully catalog and preserve it!

listen, we're going about this the wrong way. yes, the general populace of the PTC has the collective IQ of a stunned duckling...HOWEVER...the f--kers running the PTC are f--cking MASTERS of manipulation. they've manged to get scores of PTC members to commit intellectual f--cking suicide and just hand their entire decision making process over to the PTC!

we need to harness this power.

if we figured out a way to turn it into electricity, we could probably power the whole u.s. of a. for like....years...and such.

Hey, that guy has the entire Bible [KJV] printed on his tie. How could he not be a beacon of moral character?

look at his tie!

Oh no! all my fav shows are red!!!!

while I hate this group and everything they do, calling them worse than Nazis night be extreme. as last time I checked the PTC hadnt killed millions of people, they had only slightly annoyed millions of people. It is sad that a group like the FCC continues to operate outside of thier orignal mandate and goes unchecked. The PTC is greatly taking advantage of this and really needs to shut the hell up. When I was growing up and there was something my parents didnt want me to see they did an amazing thing- changed the channel ot turned the TV off. But hey my parents took an interest in my life and saw it as thier responsibilty to raise me right not the goverments.

Man, I can't stand those people!

Ginger kids. They monger evil.
