I expect the internet to fall by election time.

That's pretty scary!

Hell, part of it says, "to protect children from Innapropriate advertising"! Where the fuck are the parents ? The reason I have sattelite is the LACK of advertising:Graucho I Sincerely Hope that the idiots in Power do not get re elected:2 cents:

One day Chicken Little was walking in the woods when -- KERPLUNK -- an acorn fell on her head

"Oh my goodness!" said Chicken Little. "The sky is falling! I must go and tell the king."

:)

I saw that as well, wonder who has the black boxes for that ?:Graucho

"All media should be on a level playing field, and all children should be protected, no matter how their programming is delivered to their homes."

um.

the article says this:

"The rules issued by the Federal Communications Commission require satellite operators to allow political candidates to buy advertising time on their systems and to sell it to them at the lowest rates they offer to commercial customers."

and this:

"The FCC also limited the amount of commercial time on children's programs to 12 minutes per hour during the week and 10 1/2 minutes per hour on weekends, the same restrictions on broadcast and cable."

the "aggressive and inappropriate advertising" comment was made by a member of an interest group.

i'm not seeing how these are bad rules.
