The people complaining about The Inside are in fact the same people who complained about the Angel episode, Destiny because "you could see his hips moving."
No lie.
My show is too pretty to die.

Parents shouldn't have to record and check everything before letting their children watch it and you can't depend on a warning at the start because some people will turn the TV on late and miss it.
In the UK we have a simple rule called the 9pm watershed. Anything unsuitable for children is shown after 9pm. Of course there is always a debate about what is unsuitable, but it works pretty well. Funnily enough one of the most complained about pre-watershed programmes was when Casualty said (Spoiler for your childhood innocence):
Select to view spoiler:
Father Christmas doesn't exist!
Of course, I can't comment on the specific programme as I haven't seen it.

Apparently not.
These people offend me. I find the general publics' lack of personal responsibilty disturbing.
