VT

Doesn’t television have it backwards, what with primetime being the time characters can cuss, have sex or shoot people? I’ve always assumed tv censors itself mainly for children; but from 8 o’ clock on, “prime time,” children are home. Yes, maybe they’re supposed to be in bed or studying, but that doesn’t mean they are. Conversely, during the day television (regular tv anyways) is strictly a G-rated affair. Seems backwards to me. Shouldn’t the hours we know children are home be more G-rated and the hours they’re in school a more bubbly, Playboy After Dark Affair? “Shit, 3 o’ clock, let’s sober up and get dressed.” Am I the only person this has ever occurred to?
