Television is a vast wasteland. Cable television is a vast wasteland, only vaster still 
and more toxic. Of course, advocacy groups can save us with their proposal to mandate a la carte cable television programming. According to Media Daily News (free registration required,)
“A la carte would permit consumers to select which cable channels they receive, allowing individuals to opt not to receive networks they believe include inappropriate content. It could also reduce costs, since consumers would only pay for desired channels--something the FCC asserted in a report last month, although the cable industry denies that.”
Marketing Blurb always believes consumers deserve choice. Marketing Blurb also believes that industry regulation never solves social issues. Parents already control family-friendly television programming. Use the off button, folks.
