A Query

Dear Korea:

We write you today in regards to your no smoking policy on T.V. 

It is not that we here at the ministry are not sympathetic to the dangers of smoking it is just... allow me to digress.

You are currently showing the American program "It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia" on your 'Fox Life' channel between the hours of roughly eleven and twelve.  This is a comedy which finds humour in such sensitive fields as:

Abortion
Having sex with your best friend's mother
The mentally handicapped
Racism
High risk gambling
Drug addiction
Slavery

 This list is not to suggest that we here at the ministry do not find "It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia" humours.  On the contrary, we do.  However we would understand if you chose to take umbridge with any of the above mentioned themes, but you don't.  There is no sensoring of the dialogue, no particular episode left out on morale grounds. 

And here in lies our thrust.  You blur every cigarette that is raised to someone's lips.  Man or woman, young or old, as soon as a very visible cigarette in the hand touches someone's lips it is swathed in a pixel penumbra that frankly is not fooling anyone.  Cigarettes are three dollars a pack here and you're going to have children confused why they can see the cig their daddy is puffing on. 

Let this not ruin our good relations.  Let it only be known that we here at the Ministry of "Why the Hell are you Doing That?" are wondering why the hell are you doing that?

Sincerely,

- The Ministry of Why the Hell are you Doing That?

P.S. While we're on the subject, why can see see naked boobs on t.v. while we're eating cereal at 8 in the morning?  You could at least wait until 9:30 when the children are at school.
