Nobody has the right to impose their view of what is "right" or "good"
on anyone other than themselves. Public censorship is what smallminded
people resort to.

Is that so? Then I guess the government has no right to tell us that it's
wrong to murder somebody.

What you call "public censorship" used to be known as "common decency."
People who wanted trash and garbage could always find it, but a person
could watch TV with their 6 year old and not have to worry about what the 6
year old was exposed to in advertisements.

These ads are aired almost everywhere, and one never knows when they are
going to pop up.

I happen to be sick and tired of you and YOUR ilk trying to force indecency
and smut on everyone whether they want it or not. Then you put on the tired
whine about "Puritans" and "narrowminded control freaks." The government
has (finallY) made it illegal for smokers to pollute my air in public
places. I have the same right that my public media not be polluted by
filthy language, graphic scenes of sex & violence, etc. And no, I
shouldn't have to turn off my TV in order to have it.

Yes, I can choose what to watch, but I have NO control over what might show
up in a commercial block. It's not uncommon to see ads for sex enhancement
in the middle of shows that would be classified as "family viewing," even
on Nick At Night and TV Land.
