I'm not "promoting" as much as "defending." I'm defending the concept that one media stream, for a certain part of the day, can be allowed to exist without the intrusion of offensive images or language. There are magazines, newspapers, books, AM radio, FM radio, video tape and DVDs, internet, streaming internet, pay per view, cable channels, sat. radio, cellphones, the list goes on and on, and with the exception of family time on tv, almost all of it is subject to whatever vulgarity happens to sell products aimed at teens. This one isn't about censoring freedom of expression, but about creating a clear space in the already contaminated pool where we don't have to hold our noses and shove away the floating poop.
