Stupid Moral Policing

I don’t watch TV these days (recently I didn’t have even a single glimpse of TV for more than a month) so I didn’t know that AXN has been banned for broadcasting indecent programming. It’s so silly to ban an entire channel for a single program.

AXN is a stupid channel and the last program I watched on it with an intermittent regularity was Poor Man’s Bikini Beach, and the most obscene thing used to be, when they blurred nipples and butts. No, I’m not saying that they should show nipples and butts on regular timings, but why telecast a program you cannot show properly?

Some time back I heard that channels will be able to telecast adult programs after 11 PM. I don’t know whether it has started happening or not, but if it is happening, and if AXN was telecasting the offending program (for which it was taken off the air) during the adult slot, what was Munshi’s problem (he’s the same clueless IB minister who previous banned The Vinci Code too)? I’m sure he watches whatever he wants to watch whenever he can, so why shackle the public?
