Penises on Prime Time Programming TruTV

[Silhouette]

TruTV is a cable channel. I don't believe the FCC has jurisdiction over content. Your cable company does. Petition them to stop offering the channel.

They do have jurisdiction. Your beliefs are wrong. Contact the online FCC complaint page I linked on page 2 if you think “dicks over dictators” was an inappropriate bit to show on children/families my prime time viewing.

It does, but the Supreme Court has placed a much higher burden on the FCC when it comes to subscription services like Cable. To regulate indecency or obscenity standards they have to meet the 'strict scrutiny' standard, most weighted toward rights over regulation.

The FCC has generally been reluctant to even try since about 1996.

Again, its not a kid's show. Its TV-14. The ratings are there to provide you with information on the content of the shows.

Rather than ignoring them, assuming its a kids show and then demanding that the FCC *make* it a kids show, I'd suggest that you excercise some personal responsibility and use the show's rating to inform your decision making.

As the FCC is has a hard row to hoe with the application of indecency and obscenity standards on subscription services since Denver Area v. FCC in 1996. And at this point, rarely tries....as its regulation has to meet the highest standard of review; strict scrutiny. The measure most weighted toward freedom of speech and least weighted toward regulation.

Good luck with that.

That was during other administrations. Trump's control of the FCC may be quite different. He literally I believe has unilateral power over that agency. One of the POTUS perks I believe. I doubt he'd want his brand to show tolerance of "dicks over dictators" during the peak child-viewing hour of 4pm in the afternoon just after school on a network that weaves in other "family friendly" shows into the lineup of smut-infiltrated "family friendly" shows...

You can cut and dry the Denver v FCC case, but in areas where children are to be protected, the law leans their way EVERY TIME. If a child is endangered, all case law is out the window. That's how our legal system works.

'Grab them by the pussy' Trump is concerned with obscenity laws on cable TV?

There's zero indication of that. Less than zero...as Trump has pushed a roll back of government regulation. While you're calling for an expansion of it.

And the show in question isn't a child's show. Its clearly labeled TV-14. You simply ignored that and *assumed* it was a kid's show. You ignoring the very rating provided to you to make informed decisions doesn't create a viewing crisis.

Save that your claims of 'child endangerment' are wildly exaggerated. And as the Denver V. FCC case demonstrates, when it comes to subscription services the Court holds the FCC to the standard most heavily weighting freedom of speech.

"Dicks over dictators" just aired two days ago Skylar. Give it a little time to pick up momentum. If enough people file complaints with the FCC then the issue will come up and Trump will have to show his position on it. You know how this stuff works.

Or....you could just stop ignoring the TV-14 rating.

Hard to do on a "family oriented network" at 4pm in the afternoon, interspersed with the grandkids' favorite shows like "the Carbanero effect" and "Impractical Jokers"...though lately that show I've been switching off with little ones around as the writing for it keeps getting more and more "hard to explain" to the kids in age-appropriate ways..

Its not hard at all. You just take some personal responsibility for your own viewing and check the ratings. There are child controls built into your cable box. Use them.

Your demands that we regulate the world because you refuse to use the tools available to you is unreasonable. And the show isn't a kid's show. Its TV-14.

 

[Silhouette]

The FCC has a function to regulate airwaves. Those go through cable lines too.

But the shows they interweave sexualized content with are "all popular family-oriented shows" that kids will sneak off and watch at other people's houses if you block them at home. This makes them even more vulnerable to child predators whose first objective is to remove the child from the protective cloak of the closest guardian to them. It's all a type of pedophilic grooming. Latch-key homes are a fact of life. So the TIME OF DAY the certain types of content can be viewed is keY to FCC enforcement. By bed time 9pm, the overwhelming majority of homes have the monitoring adults home and have rounded up their children from afar and put them to bed.

So, the FCC has to assume that at any given moment on any network that promotes itself as "family-friendly" with shows on at prime time for kids' viewing, that these networks must act to protect any child viewing anywhere, not just at home. Protective laws for children don't stop at the door step of their insular family home, they follow them wherever the kids go. And they take into account peer pressure and the like (think drugs, instead of sexualized porn in kids' programming). So, the onus is upon the network, not the parent. This is why the FCC has a category in its complain system for CABLE TV. Because it's also part of their jurisdiction; particularly when it comes to protecting children whether viewing at home or at a friend's latchkey house down the street...

Long story short, if you sell your network as "family friendly" you'd better damn well be sure that that is what your content is until 9pm or you will be guilty of attempting to sexualize children. And, you should pay heavy fines and be forced to come into compliance with child-protective viewing regulations. Cable or not.

 

[Skylar]

The FCC's regulation of subscription services like Cable is far more limited since 1996 when the USSC held them to the 'strict scrutiny' standard. The hardest and most egregious standard to hold regulation to, weighted most heavily toward freedom of speech.

And this in a case that involved pornography on Playboy TV. With every 'protecting children' argument you're making now.

And the show in question isn't a kid's show. Its TV-14. That you *ignored* the rating doesn't mean we have to regulate the whole of cable TV. Merely that you need to take more personal responsibility for what is watched in your own home.

With the "all popular family-oriented shows" being your opinion of what their program should be. The show in question is rated TV-14 by Tru-TV.

You merely ignored their rating, replaced it with your decision that Impractical Jokers should be a kids show.....um, 'because'. And then insist that the FCC *make* the show a kid's show because you have deemed it must be so.

Um, no.

Your cable box has child controls built in that will allow you to control what ratings are allowed on your TV.

Use them.

If you feel that 'Impractical Jokers' makes children more vulnerable to child predators......then don't show Impractical Jokers to children.

Take some personal responsibility over your own TV.

Playboy TV doesn't pitch itself as a "family friendly" network Skylar. You know the difference. On networks that pitch themselves as family friendly, different rules apply. For all the reasons I stated at the top of this page.

Even 14 year olds don't need to see erect penises on their viewing. Would such things be allowed in their Jr. High classrooms? No, they wouldn't. And the school would catch major shit for doing so. And most certainly you would not interweave such content with other more tame family-oriented shows on prime time (bad network's intent: to be sure the little ones nearby caught the erect penis display while the 14 year old siblings were watching (prime time/family oriented network).

Sorry, your little court case isn't going to protect TruTV on this one. You'll have to come up with something better. Time of day on "family oriented" network is going to burn TruTV on this brazen sexualizing attempt. There's no way around it.

Alas, you run into problems with reality again. Tru TV doesn't 'pitch itself as family friendly'. Here's its website and their line up.

truTV | Funny Because it's tru

The term 'family friendly' is never mentioned once. You've imagined it. It pitches itself as a *comedy* channel. With 'Tru TV's' funniest' and 'comedy knockout' and 'Jokers' on the website. And not a single kid's show in their entire line up.

You've literally imagined that Tru TV is for children. Then demanded that the FCC enforce your imagination.

Um, no.

TruTV pitches its network as family-friendly. And if not, it should say so explicitly at the start of every show "TruTV is not a family-oriented network". Showing smut interwoven with "family friendly" content during prime time is unacceptable. 14 year olds do not need to be sexualized either. We wouldn't allow it in schools. And TV is the epitome of education because kids spend more time focused on/absorbing its content than on actual school.

truTV | Funny Because it's tru

Show me any mention of 'family friendly'.

Take your time. I'll wait.

And if not, it should say so explicitly at the start of every show "TruTV is not a family-oriented network".

That's what TV ratings are for. Impractical Jokers is clearly rated TV-14.

Just stop ignoring the rating and replacing it with your imagination.
