Finally, Somebody Steps Up to the Legion of Doom

Well, remember when we were talking about the evil Parents Television Council and their lovely little survey?

Well, finally, the JLA to their Legion of Doom has arrived, or so it seems. Or so it has the potential to become. Jeff Jarvis pointed out (and has endorsed, him and a bunch of others) TV Watch. They’re going to counter the PTC’s efforts to sanitize and lobotomize television in the U.S.

Check out their mission statement:

TV Watch is dedicated to using all communications available to educate parents about the existing tools to manage their children’s television consumption; and to give voice to the majority of Americans who believe responsibility – not more regulation – is the solution.

Sounds like a winner to me. I’ve signed their petition, and urge our reader in the U.S. to do the same.
