Do you Reject the Sleaze? The stuff on VH-1? Oxygen?
Or is one person's Sleaze another's Reality? Surfing Channels it seems that what one might view as Sleaze is just what we love to watch these days.

After all...If we didn't watch it and love it...they wouldn't put it on. But, "Bondage Babes" and "Babes in Car Trunks" and stuff like that is VERY INTERESTING...or Not So....

How much Reality are you willing to stomach watch or your kids watching that's out there on Cable?

And...WHAT is the definition of what I might view as Sleaze ..compared to YOURS? Isn't that what it's all about...the definite of sleaze and something that "tittilates without value?" What IS Value?

Do you use the "V-Chip" to block out stuff from your kids? Is that CENSORSHIP? What Would you CENSOR?

Should ANYTHING be Censored? What if some stuff OFFENDS FOLKS but they are FORCED TO VIEW it because their CABLE REQUIRES you to TAKE IT? If you don't have a FILTER...how do you handle this? Do your KIDS HATE you if your "filter" their viewing. Has anything YOU'VE VIEWED upset you as a Parent? Should you deny the viewing to your kid as Censorship?

So many Questions... But...I'm asking how Parents can Deal with Stuff...How do YOU DEAL...Is there ANYTHING too Bizarre OR Weird that even the most AVID defenders of the RIGHT TO WATCH ANYTHING would shudder and stop their kids watching?

I know there are a lot of questions here...but where do you fall as a Parent, Single or beyond that?
