"are to be turned off if people in the background threaten to do anything indecent."

thanks for that line. will resort to such a threat next time I am being bothered by the presence of the allmighty vultures and report on the effects. no, seriously, this could be an interesting strategy, for celeb court cases, don't you think?

Now there's a newsgathering strategy I admire. Turn off those cameras. Don't want to capture anything...objectionable! You know, the worst thing in the world isn't for a few people to see a few breasts on the news. I'm still waiting for Janet's #2.

And, someone's gotta point this out, it's interesting there was no similar hand-wringing or policy-changing by anyone last week when local cameras televised a motorist being shot by LAPD officers. I mean, seriously, which one's more damaging to see by young viewers?

I'm trusting Channel 2 will follow the example they set after the Super Bowl and run the offending footage several times, for those of us who may have missed the opportunity to be scandalized by it.
