Who says we don't need a CRTC (FCC for Canada)?
Once again, the mighty bureaucrats rule in favor on French Canadians deprived of their most basic right: subtitled porn.

We made fun of this a bit when it came out (http://blog.fagstein.com/2008/07/28/crtc-roundup-videotron-doesnt-want-to-closed-caption-porn/), but there was a serious policy question being asked by Videotron: Should cable companies be required to spend money closed-captioning on-demand pornography and programming aimed at preschool children who can't read?
The month, the CRTC ruled that, well, yes, they should (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2009/2009-276.htm).
While you might think it common sense that such programs should be excluded from closed-captioning requirements, the CRTC said that children should have access to captioning so they can learn to read, and parents should have access to what their children watch. There wasn't much discussion about the porn angle, namely that nobody cares what people are saying in pornographic movies.
In any case, the CRTC said Videotron hadn't made a case that it's so financially strapped that it can't afford captioning costs, so the application was denied.

Do unilingual francos even exist? We won that war, after all.
We don't need a CRTC because its vitally important that Quebec Nationalists only watch American, English-language only commercials during the Superbowl.
I thought this was already established.
French will die out if one allows unilingual, uncaptioned porn.

I hope they make the text screen large enough to cover the action.

Yes. Especially among those 30+ that don't live in the Montreal Area.

Weird. You have to wonder how such pathetic souls live with themselves.

Yes, it has been.
But clearly, the CRTC disagrees with me. And it desperately want people to think the same.

More than you think.
Many Quebecers who claim to be bilingual can barely speak English, even in Montreal, and would miserably fail any grade school English test if it was ever given to them. :lol:

Deaf men aren't to be discriminated. They have to right to jack off to porn as much as we do. :mad:
Sex doesn't come with subtitles. Also, I've found it is best when people don't talk.

The ">>>>>>>>>>>" part is just wildly silly of course, but Labrador is supposed to be quite nice. I'd love to visit one day. :canuck:
