    Wasn't this solved about 10 years ago?

    Didn't congress legislate the inclusion of the V-Chip in every television sold in the United States? Doesn't the V-Chip allow parents to block shows they don't want their children to see? Doesn't this settle the issue? What is the FCC's position on the V-Chip now? Whenever some group complains about the offensive content on TV can't we just respond with "V-Chip" and move on?
