The FCC controls the TV and radio. The main problem I have with them and television, along with radio, is that they don't think people can change the channel or use parental controls. They simply ban most offensive content. If you saw something on tv that offended you, would you change the channel and use parental controls, or would you complain to the FCC, become a crazy social activist, and so on? TV is getting more and more boring because of the FCC. The Howard Stern Show went off the air on TV, Girls Gone Wild infomercials are becoming more and more rare late at night, and so on.
If the FCC dissapeared, it's unlikely TV and radio would descend into relative anarchy. People would just be able to speak freely, and more naturally. I noticed in diologue on shows such as Law & Order, and so on, the diologue is sometimes curbed in places where something would be bleeped out. This brings up a question:
How is it that they can say whatever they want on Showtime or HBO?
Please don't ridicule me or anything.
