Those Brits

Quote:
In the UK it is 21.00, and if your children are up after that time (or if you record programmes for them to watch) you are deemed responsible if they are disturbed by what they see.
That makes complete sense. That's why I like the BBC. It just blows my mind how better their news is, even better than our NPR or PBS (our public networks). And BBC 7 has great shows with plenty of profanity (and humor!). They just say "The following contains strong language." In America, the TV IS the "nanny state" for many parents, but they're unwilling to say no or control what the kids watch. Worse, rather than complain about gratuitous violence, they get all upset over a nipple, and a covered nipple at that.
