It's just regular hysteria. For one, 9-11 was four years ago. As some blogger, somewhere noted today WWII was fought in four years (not my analogy, I've just forgotten who to cite).
Any, boobies and skyscrapers are completely different. Maybe gay Cinemax could be conflated with knocking down towers, but not boobies.
I just wonder what happens when those bluenoses realize that all the good shows are on the channels they want to opt out of. For as much as they cuss on HBO, it's pretty well accepted that there is no finer selection of programming than the movies and original stuff they offer. (I know that's already pay; semi-bad example.) What about TNT? Every single eipsode of L&O begins with a bloody corpse! They'll be sorry they went down this road....
Sensebrenner is a representative, not a senator.
(Being a pedant on unfogged is like catching the bouquet at a wedding: a small victory that'll leave you worried for the rest of the day)

You misspelled Sensenbrenner.

Actually, WWII was fought in six years. Some people were just late joining in... (meaningful look)
