One person’s “objectionable” is another person’s “OK”. Who gets to define what’s OK and what’s not? OK, porn is definately not allowed. That’s obviously objectionable. But doesn’t that then open the door for activist groups to campaign for other types of websites to be blocked next? The word “objectionable” is such a broad umberella term that covers so much. Can’t you just see the lawsuits now by “outraged passengers” who were “forced” to look at “objectionable websites” while they were on their flight? Now they are “mentally scarred for life” and only $10 million in damages, free air travel for life, and the blocking of said websites will heal their mental anguish." -- Your own Mark O'Neill. Now, replace "objectionable" with "undesired", and enjoy. Also, I like a world in which newsreaders can rip up and lambast inconsequential drivel on air. It'd be a shame to have a quality rant auto-censored before it passed the producer's office. “Second, define “objectionable”. One person’s “objectionable” is another person’s “OK”.

Or maybe MS is going to start their own video content service? Again...
