NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “from the home office of the Family Empowerment Coalition, the top 10 unintended consequences of the Markey V-chip…”

“from the home office of the Family Empowerment Coalition, the top 10 unintended consequences of the Markey V-chip mandate: No. 10, bureaucrats will be able to pick the shows your kids watch, but will not read them a bedtime story. No. 9, rating tens of thousands of hours of shows each year is fun, easy, and fat free, but it will not be cheap. No. 8, the viewer is upset that V-chip is not as good as the original show with that Ponch guy. No. 7, Oh, I am sorry, No. 7 has been blocked out by Government censors. No. 6, Angela Lansbury now stars in "Jaywalking, She Wrote." No. 5, provides jobs for unemployed Federal bureaucrats. No. 4, will not work on that old out-of-date TV you bought last week. No. 3, brings back all the intrusive Big Government attitude that we all miss. No. 2, C-SPAN's annual NEA debate blocked out for sexual content. And the No. 1 unintended consequence of the Markey V-chip: blocks Regis, spares Kathie Lee. No on Markey, yes on Coburn.”
