Cablewallah strike

Apparently the court passed an order to ban all depection of sex and violence on screen. The cablewallahs have retaliated by blacking out all the channels claiming it will be impossible to moniter all the 150 or so television channels at the same time. The point is also that even if they do monitor, they will end up blocking most of the channels most of the time anyway.
The problem is that to whatever extent sex or violence is depicted over satellite networks, local cablewallahs screen soft porn in the cable channels, and these channels are driven by the politicians that speak out against sex and violence in the satellite networks in the first place. The funny thing about this is that most of these soft porn flicks start with a dedication to god and a prayer. Funnier part is that the said soft porn flicks are locally made.
Its like evolution. Channels that push the limits survive, so networks will depict just a little more sex and violence than the competing networks, and the amount of depiction will progressively increase.
The only thing we can do to stop this is, to use the words of the government, not get "corrupted"
Funny thing is that only those who are immature would like to watch mature content.
