My first reaction: How does trespassing and performing lewd acts as a
trespasser resemble depictions of sex? For one thing I'd be scared the
trespasser were going to rape me...or kill me or my kids. As an analogy the
prowler/sex addict scenario fails because even if the remote didn't work,
and you could walk/wheel your way to the set to change the channel somehow
you would have a choice. In the absence a working channel changer on the
set or faulty off switch off the set or change the channel then the option
is just unplugging the set or changing tv sets. If money is an issue
Freecyle or Craigslist or trash day may provide a working set.
My second reaction: Real acts of sex on television would only be there if
he/she made "personal" films or tuned into some sort of sex channel. But I
can't imagine any regulatory body allowing sex on television--the frontal
nudity is still contentious among tv censors:)
What does this person think of computers? Even with the best of filters
someone named Bambi or some guy named Troy(who claims to be well hung)
inevitably surprizes me with lewd pics or propositions. I delete them and
report them as spam. You have way more control over images on tv than on
computers, where my son's searches for the kinder chocolate egg sites often
ended up redirected to porn sites--leading to explanations.
I have noticed that to people who are anti-tv everyone is pro-tv. I think
like everything tv works for some and not for other people. My kids watch
television--we don't have porn stations where I live, though there is lots
stuff we find silly or unappealing we wouldn't stop others from watching.
