                    CABLE OPERATORS PREFER PORNOGRAPHY

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear (blank) Cable,

         On Thursday, January 5th I was watching channel 51.  This 
channel carries C-SPAN 2, a channel which *broadcasts 24 hours per 
day.*  However, in the evenings here in (my city), you choose to 
interrupt the C-SPAN 2 programming in order to broadcast Bravo, a 
channel purveying *foreign* films.
         On Thursday, January 5th at 5:00 p.m. I was watching C-SPAN 
2.  Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the United States House of 
Representatives, third in line to succeed the President of the United 
States, was speaking on an issue of national importance *on the 
floor of the House.*  Suddenly, YOU switched channel 51 to Bravo, 
and I found myself watching a drunken, half naked man *beating his 
wife.*
         Is this the kind of country we want our children to live in?  A 
country where fictional film footage of a drunk beating his wife is 
preferred to live coverage of the United States Senate?  I have little 
use for Bravo, a channel featuring *old* foreign films.  However, I 
am greatly interested in the workings of my government, broadcast 
on C-SPAN 2.  I notice that (blank) Cable has no trouble finding 
plenty of channels for the filth and pornography broadcast on Pay Per 
View.  (Which I, incidentally, refer to as Pay Per Phew.)  However, 
when it comes to broadcasting the *work* of the United States 
Senate, you claim you have insufficient channels available to 
broadcast it.
         May I remind you that you are not regulated by the decadent 
Hollywood film studios.  You are also not regulated by the 
pedophiles, homosexuals, and adulterers who manufacture foreign 
films.  However, you are regulated by the U.S. Senate.  I suggest you 
show a greater respect for those who allow you the *privilege* of 
operating a broadcast facility.

Sincerely, Andrew Roller
