He's a comedian, grow up.
- gozur88 9y agoDoesn't matter who he is. This is broadcast television.
- jsiepkes 9y agoIn the land of the free you can't say cock on TV before 22:00. What's next? Decency police like in Iran?
- gozur88 9y agoIt turns out people with children aren't very open to having their kids exposed to adult material on television. This is not a new thing, either - it's been that way since day 1. Unlike mobile providers, broadcast companies didn't pay for the spectrum they use. It's a public resource that is licensed to them, and part of that license involves restrictions on language and also depictions of gore and sex.
- jsiepkes 9y agoPublic service? Maybe your confusing it with some European models but in the US there is nothing public about it. Broadcasters pay big bucks to companies like Comcast to get their station transmitted. And if your kid is not old enough to hear to word dick then he should be in bed long before 22:00.
- gozur88 9y agoMaybe you don't understand how things work in the US. This has nothing to do with cable. It's about over-the-air broadcast. If it had just been cable there wouldn't be a problem.
- lawnchair_larry 9y agoWhat does delivery medium have to do with anything? I guarantee no kid knows the difference. They press channel up and channel down. It makes no sense why one would be upset over that.
- gozur88 9y agoAs I pointed out above. The medium is important because the spectrum is a public resource, and cable isn't.
