PTC Claims Networks Saying "F the V Chip"

The thought police are at it again.

A parents group that has fought indecent content on television says broadcasters often fail to apply the proper content ratings to their prime-time programs.

By mislabelling "offensive" content (leaving off ratings like L, S, V), the parents Television Council is frets that the V chip is rendered useless, and civilization could conceivably collapse because an 8 year old might hear the word "hell" on TV.

Television networks counter that they're labelling their shows compliantly, and said regulators were over-reaching.

This issue just won't go away. It's going to get scary.
