And I'm only seeing the problem escalate with future generations. I know it wasn't the greatest flick, but a Johnny Mnemonic scenario comes to mind.

All I can say is woohoo! Fox's blundering on Family Guy back in 2002 was aweful. You would goto watch an all new Family Guy just to find baseball, football or some other special event. I am very happy to see them coming back.

] of a study comparing women whose partners wear condoms
] with those whose partners don't.
]
] The study, which is bound to provoke controversy, showed
] that the women who were directly exposed to semen were
] less depressed. The researchers think this is because

This could explain a lot.

Well Bubba is off the air now. I personally think this stinks. There is a small campaign to get him back on the air on XM radio, live and uncensored. With the way the FCC is acting about their community standards more controversial shows like this one might dissappear from radio as well.
