Cable company wank. With Boobies!
Okay, I lied about the boobies. Sort of. I assume that there were boobies, since this didn't involve a Zune.

So apparently some wires got crossed at Comcast, because when I'm pretty sure that Disney didn't suddenly get bought out by Hugh Heffner. Parents are understandably outraged, but the real fun is in the comments. We've got the Appeal to Irrelevent Authority (with bonus Random Scientific(?) Fact!), Parents vs. Childfree, round 7432056423650 (always a classic), a dash of snark, and even a small bit of common sense! Don't forget the people that have no problem with a five-year-old watching porn! Everything one could possibly want in a wank, wrapped up in one compact package. Except boobies. And Comcast bashing.

*sits on hands to refrain from explaining just why seeing a few seconds/minutes of porn will not raise one's likelyhood of being "sexually deviant"*

Linked does not equal caused, you morons! Do you have any idea how many other factors are involved considering the type of person that would allow their child to see porn?!

. . .Oops.

	'S kinda like saying that violent video games are the sole cause of school shootings. I think the parents are right to be ticked off, though. As a parent (hypothetically), since it's my parental responsibility to have The Talk with my kids, it should also be my right to choose the time and place. /idealistic (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eh, I think a person has the right to be pissed no matter what age they are. I'd have been damned annoyed if a plot twist on one of my favorite shows was interupted by two blotchy people making obnoxious noises and weird faces. /big TV watcher who just doesn't like porn (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You have to remember, none of us actually need that pointed out to us. We're not the wankers. (Reply to this)(Parent)
