Can you say actor, woman, money in hand paid to say something.

Just how many things would have had to come together to make up the girl she was representing to be.

This ain't wrestling it's reality TV!

I said buh-bye to cable via a TV that stopped working... (divine intervention, perhaps?)

and JJ.... "bull testicles" ??

Dana Perino and Newsbusters gals will look great in Shywear

It's been argued that Major League baseball has more teams than major-league caliber talent to staff them.  Likewise, both cable and broadcast TV have far more channels than talented people to program them.  That's one reason why we get all this tripe.  Have you ever noticed how much "original" cable programming consists of lists?  Another problem is the Hollywood types pushing their agendas.

If the marketplace allowed us to pay for only the channels we want, perhaps a lot of this garbage would be starved for funds and die off. 

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

That Brent Bozell often watches raunchier TV than I do, unless you count the endless string of boner-drug commercials. :)

I've always suspected these boner-commercials don't get the scrutiny they'd otherwise get due to pharmaceutical companies' strong political influence. I think there's good proof the constant commercials actually buy good press. Everyone recalls how I tried & abjectly-failed right here on NB to get the shooter's (predicted by me before it was officially revealed) "antidepressant" drug, the dosage prescribed, and the prescribing doc's name, following the VA Tech shooting. Everyone saw that it was mediabias due to big money which made me fail, and I don't mind admitting at this point that I've obviously-failed. I'm still curious if it was big Viagra-money, big Cialis-money, or big Levitra-money that kept the media silent, and I'm still in the dark despite my constant-carping about knowing the calibers, handgun brands, and firearm sources almost-instantly. It's media bias, bought and paid-for by the drug companies. Grrrr.

But I do like the idea of voting with my dollars for the few cable TV stations I'd actually want. Cable-monopolies buying up crooked local politicians is the reason that choice isn't available right-now, IMO, along with the FCC's general one size fits all approach common to all aspects of obese government.

Rally online with fans of Dr. Ron Paul.

National Geographic and other family/nature-oriented programs, our monthly fees cover this filth! 

Whenever the "unbundling" movement gets going, I hope someone will post it so we can all join in.  We watch 1/10 of the channels we pay for in our package - and that is obscene!  If a channel doesn't get enough $$ on its own, it shouldn't be offered!

Regardless of the fact that we don't watch it, it sickens me that our young people are being exposed to such trash.  And then we wonder why there seems to be a lack of values in our youth.

Unbundling?  Great idea, but it will never happen.  Cable companies are too greedy.  They figured that the loss of some customers will be less than charging many people for only a few channels.

Not trying to pick a fight, because I think the Tila Tequila show is ridiculous garbage, but the people on the show are adults, not teens. 

I've watched some of Kid Nation, and some of the kids are hilarious, smart, heart-breaking. 

Bi-sexual cannibalism! 

"Rush Limbaugh stated that of the top 5 Republicans running for the presidency, only one was a true conservative. http://www.fred08.com/ Rush then stated that the conservative was Fred Thompson.

And even worse they keep moving the channel numbers so that my blocking and locking has to be updated almost every month or so.

For maybe 3 months you are going to get a cheap out deal, but then they are going to rape you for over a hundred a month just to get Fox news. And they are going to have you with a contract with a hefty cancellation fee just to throw them out the door. Do yourself a big favor and cancel them before they get there.

And I'll just bet you've got no trouble at all with strip joints right next to your childrens schools where they can go for extra credit study.

For me it's not so much that I want this stuff censored, but like Blonde and the others are saying I get tired of subsidizing it through package deals.

We spend 40 bucks a month for cable TV but only watch about 10 dollars' worth of it. What if I said the only way you could watch CNN was to also pay for 13 channels of Christian preaching, and every six months they rearranged the dial to increase your odds of inadvertently watching them.

And I really don't buy the theory of it being up to parents. I remember being a kid and finding clever ways to watch what I wanted.

When a family sits down to watch a ball game they shouldn't be indundated with beer commercials and The Best **** Sports Show. When they watch a family-friendly game show they shouldn't have to turn because of super-violent advertising. There is nothing for kids on network TV anymore.

Yeah Family Guy is a hit right now, but if cable stopped forcing people to buy Fox and suddenly you're paying an extra 10 bucks for one network, I guarantee the demand would shrink.

The most dangerous thing in the world is an angry person with political power.
