Hmm... Friends, Big Brother, celebrity boxing, "when someting normal does something dangerous to someone stupid" (FOX only), the Anna Nicole Smith show and the last six years of Saturday Night Live... and you're worried about broadcasting getting worse?

Video recorders can be used to make (shitty) copies of movies which can then be distributed on the Internet and viewed by innocent children.
Box knives can be used to hijack airliners, which can in turn be used to kill innocent children.
And of course a ReplayTV unit can be used to record porno flics from TV which can then be sent to innocent children for viewing.
We should outlaw anything that can be used for any sort of illegal purpose. It's simple, really.
