So, I did an experiment with my dad's shiny, new television: I turned on the V-Chip blocking for all ratings, G, PG-13, X. Now the television only displays ads (and the occasional sports game). I can now understand exactly how the system got in place: who could say no to something that would let the hooks be displayed, but hide all the meat?

With this on, you can't watch a TV-PG PBS special, but you can watch football, the home shopping network, ads, and infomercials.
