However, I still think that a 9pm watershed is a good idea since it defines when something inappropriate *might* be broadcast.

I expect in future all programs could be voluntarily rated by the producers and sifted out automatically by EPGs, but even then, there’s a time and place for adult entertainment: so long as it remains a personal choice and not at the whim of John Beyer and cronies.

Hell’s teeth, if a movie has an 18 rating, it’s hardly going to be Snow White or Bambi now is it! If I choose to watch (and often do) that’s my choice as an adult, but there’s no way I’m going to let my kids watch: sleep is a wonderful thing.

But it shows they are much better at policing their kids viewing that the likes of John Beyer gives them credit for.
