Re: How to block porn from On-Demand channels? Man. There are people complainging about free channels? How about this: You are a parent. Tell your kids they may not watch porn in your home. If you catch them, and you will, use your parental rights and punish the children.
With everyone complaining about the price of cable these days it amazes me that there are those that complain when they stumble upon some freebies.
How about you walk down to the library and complain because they have free books with pictures of naked amazonian women in them? How about you ask the librarian to filter the computers so the kiddes don't access porn on them? You do know that most libraries do not filter right?
As a poster above stated this is a teenager. If they are already manually typing in the channel numbers when they know you don't approve then you have a bigger problem than occasional VOD porn not being encrypted. |

exactly!! |

| First of all, pictures of naked Amazonian women in a library, as you put it, is NOT porn -- at least not to the level one may witness of the VOD channels in question.
Second, the question was "how do I block this," not "If someone here doesn't meet my demands, I'm suing!"
So let's try to not fall back on the old crutches, shall we? |

| I hear ya...I just personally think it's much ado about nothing.
It's just weird in our society that animated violence in media is ok, but people having sex (which is about as dangerous as a visit to the mall) isn't. It's ok to watch The Lord Of The Rings, and see thousands slaughtered in a fantasy movie. But people getting naked and having safe nonviolent fun isn't. It's an equally weird double standard that naked amazonian women are ok, and naked Jenna Jameson's aren't.
And yes, as a parent I use this philosophy as a guide with my children too. Talk to your child, and this won't be the problem you think it is. As far as Charter is concerned, they should be able to install a filter on your line. |

| The difference may be that in LOTR, the violence is acted out and fake while in an "adult" movie the "action" isn't pretend.
Or maybe we're just messed up.  |

I'm not against occasional pornography for adults, but like alcohol, it can be phychologically and physically addicting, especially for kids, leading to a loser social life. I'm teaching my kids that *wanting* to look is natural and I know that they will easily find some as they grow older, but I don't want to make it too casual and easy for them (and gee, obeying the law is nice). The more you view, the more you desensitize your eyes to the beauty and fun of real people vs. imaginary people. |

Its not like it really 'feels good' all the time... So I disagree, "adult" movies ARE pretend. Its all psychological... and sorry were not all messed up... were just humans who like different forms of entertainment. Sorry for being different.

I'll simply have to plead ignorance on the issue, then.
I wasn't making any value judgements; I was just trying to propose why one may find porn offensive but not LOTR.
All of which has nothing to do with the real problem in the original post. |

There are no facial shoots or anything really hardcore. Just a little bit cheesier than skinimax flics. I'd worry about your kids more if they never checked out porn. If they start watching it 12 hrs a day well your kid is a bit f-ed up already. Or better yet if you suspect them of watching it or catch them talk to them about it. |
