You mean like the WebTv boxes that run Netscape 1.x? :)  Hehehehe...  The
best thing for us to do is simply force a "Fuck You" rating on all our
pages - voluntarily rate it for sex content, foul language,
beastiality, anarchy, drug/bomb recipies, or whatever - but make the page

these ratings out at the knees.
