This document discusses television censorship and arguments for and against it. It notes that television is currently censored for excessive violence, nudity, and some profanity. The document argues that censorship should be expanded to censor adult jokes in programming rated PG and below, as well as reduce general violence in all programming. This is because studies show children spend more time watching television than learning in school, and the negative influences of such content on children are too large. The document concludes that a chip should be installed in cable boxes to automatically censor adult jokes and excessive violence in programs rated below D 17+.
