Us getting away with the amount of sex we got away with in that episode where Archer is having sex with Lana from behind, and Lana’s breasts are jiggling all over, was great. I read a comment online that said, “OK, now Archer is basically cartoon porn,” and I thought, “Yeah! It’s cartoon porn! F**k off! It’s great!” I hope it’s cartoon porn. If you can get away with it, do it.This attitude is all too prevalent among creators of cable TV today. “If you can get away with it, do it,” in spite of the fact that every program on basic cable – pornographic or not – is forcibly supported by millions of Americans, whether they want it or not, watch it or not…even if they find it offensive. The only alternative such Americans have is to cancel their cable or satellite subscriptions completely. This is an unfair alternative for those who want to receive Nickelodeon or Disney Channel for their children (or even TBN or EWTN for themselves), but are forced through the entertainment industry’s extortionate bundling schemes to support open pornography, just because Matt Thompson thinks he can “get away with it.” Matt Thompson is no doubt thrilled to be “getting away with” putting his twisted sex fantasies on TV; and his program’s tiny audience is likely equally gratified. But there is no reason why every American with pay-TV should be forced to support what the creator himself says is pornography. To learn about PTC’s Cable Choice Campaign, click here.
