Showing on the channel they had tuned into was a movie with explicit love-making ... imagine the rest. Despite our protestations, the restaurant owner's ears appeared deaf!</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Some people may say we need self-regulation but as a society we need some standards. We need some labeling of content that guide when it can be broadcast. For instance, adult content should be restricted to the time between 9 pm and 5 am; day time content should, of necessity, be family-friendly.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;
