The Bush administration is effectively censoring TV for hearing impaired people by refusing to fund close-captioning for shows that it doesn't deem "appropriate".
"The Bush administration has decided that people with bad hearing have bad judgment, too, and need special guidance from the federal government."

Inbreeding is always my first guess.

In the words of eddie Izzard "Apparently they didn't know that inbreeding narrows down the gene pool," or something to that effect.

There are certain things that amaze me about the American system of government, and what "free" people will put up with from said government.
At least in third world countries, you know you are being fucked, the government will tell you as much, but ....well, the act of glossing over is far worse.

i think if we are going to regulate what shows or channels get close captioning we might as well not allow them to have audio either. at least then everyone is on the same page.

Does anyone know how to make the internet have captions? The sound card is out on this computer.
