I can’t be the only one who actually enjoys a little vulgarity, raunchiness, and all around debauchery when it comes to my television programming can I? Well the fellas at the fricking FCC are trying to control what we watch again. They can control basic television as much as they see fit. But when it comes to cable television, I feel they should keep their hands out of the cookie pot. Cable television channels, like Comedy Central, MTV, Spike TV and others are still classified as paid cable channels. Much like HBO and other premier movie channels, they are not regulated by the FCC. They simply charge more to have more flexibility on what they show. Cable channels rely on advertisers to help generate revenue, this is why they regulate themselves when it comes to content. It also always cable channels to show what they want it they choose to do so, a perfect example would be Comedy Central’s South Park. They have episodes with swear words and other vulgarity. I think it should stay this way and the FCC should stay away.
