I am not against censorship. In fact, I am very much against it. There are many groups out there trying to stop us from seeing certain content on TV, movies, etc. While there are messages I would prefer didn’t hit the airways (messages very different from the ones typically being censored), I think that people should be able to spout their stupidity. It’s their right.
What I find terribly amusing are the efforts of the Parent Television Council. They work to “ensure that children are not constantly assaulted by sex, violence and profanity on television and in other media.” As part of their very diligent efforts to make sure your kids don’t see smut, they post streamed media of the smuttiest stuff from the past week on their web site as an example of the smut that is out on TV.
Wait.
They post it on their web site? Where any kid can see it? Awesome! I gotta go…

Be sure to thank The Daily Show for pointing that out a couple days ago.

Sorry – some of us don’t have cable and can’t keep up on the details of late night television.
