Sex, Drugs, Cable TV, and Lazy Parents

There has been some news coverage lately about Parents demanding "a la carte" purchasing of cable channels so that they can keep their children from seeing the wrong TV shows.

GOOD GOD, where does this end?

Lets just cast aside the fact that this would likely mean a price increase for cable subscribers, and get to the meat of the issue. This is about parents being too lazy to parent their kids. today our television shows are rated for content and out TV sets are made so that you can block shows according to these ratings. On top of that, virtually every cable box allows you to completely block channels you don't want OR enter a password to get access.

At what point can we quit catering to lazy parents?
