It’s better than accidentally switching on Faux News…
Can we just grow up? Instead of whining to the FCC, why don’t you complain about the world-wide glut of mourning over John Paul? I don’t wish the man ill, but he’s just one person. Where’s the outrage, grief, and empathy for the plight of the 300,000+ killed in Darfur, the thousands and thousands killed in Iraq, etc.? Maybe if folks had 1/100 the concern about their other fellow men (people) we’d have a much better world…

April 2, 2005POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — George Morton got a surprise when he came home from mass on Palm Sunday and turned on public access television. rton saw a tape of a striptease contest — a far cry from the usual public access programming of local meetings and talk shows.
“I thought, this is terrible,” Morton said. “I don’t get HBO or anything like that.”
Cablevision said Thursday that a “program switching error” had occurred.
“When it was detected, the programming was removed immediately,” Cablevision spokesman Bill Powers told The Poughkeepsie Journal. “We have taken appropriate steps to prevent this from happening again.”
Morton said he planned to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission. The mistake affected customers in four counties.
