Domestic culture shock
It happened at Christmas break, and it has happened again.
I realized it when ABC aired the first Harry Potter movie this evening. I have not seen it; I wanted to watch it. Unfortunately, the only television in the house at the moment sits in the middle of the family room. So I am limited to what the other members of the family will tolerate. And they will not tolerate the obvious wickedness of Harry Potter -- so obvious that they need not read any of the books or see any of the movies in order to pass judgment. I did not even need to ask. I knew.
This television set, by the way, has a V-chip installed. This V-chip is set to block anything with a rating higher than TV-PG. It is protected by a password that was probably forgotten years ago. Sometimes it randomly blocks sporting events and news programs.

Uh, Moore . . . thanks for the advice. It isn't as if I've had ten years to find one, or anything.

Clearly you need a good friend who lives close by.
