Today's issue for our communal puppet, everyone please feel free to lodge your vote and participate in the debate. (Dilemma #119) - "Watershed Down?" The IssueAn anonymous society of 'cinematic aficionados' have brought the debate over the proposed disposal of the watershed to your attention. The Debate- Option 1: "We don't need a watershed!" scoffs 'romantic-movie' buff, Bill Steele. "I don't see why I should wait 'til way past midnight to watch my preferred film genre. It's high time that parents stopped treating their children like... well, children! If you sugar-coat these kids' lives, they'll just end up seeing everything through rose-tinted glasses - and we can't have a country filled with spoilt brats now, can we?"
- Option 2: "This is an endorsement of bad taste if ever I saw it," says May Mombota, a child-care worker. "It's just wrong to subject children to graphic violence and nudity on afternoon television like this: who knows what it might possess them to do? We've all heard stories of kids who have seen some film where someone jumped off a cliff and then gone off to have a shot themselves. We must ban all violent and salacious material from our TV screens. If only to protect the innocence of our progeny!"

I had to read this one a couple times before I figured out what "watershed" meant. Anyway, down with censorship, and whatnot.
