Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.
~They’re going to be exposed to it anyway, why try to limit it?
~What you watch doesn’t determine how you behave. Most of us watch things that we do not act upon regularly such as adultery, murder, violence, drug use, profanity, lying, and all sorts of criminal activity.
~How do you build up a tolerance to something without exposing yourself to it?
~This is how vaccinations work.
~The racy shows are the shows that everyone is watching, and keeping your kids out would make them weirdos.
~Learning how to handle it rather than how to avoid it is the key to adult Christianity.
~These are teachable moments and you can teach your children how to teach other people’s children. But if they’re ignorant, they won’t be able to teach anyone.
~It’s no different than letting them read common teen magazines like Cosmo and YM.
~Just because you see something doesn’t mean you do it.
~The Bible is full of racy activity. Should kids not read that, either?
~A massive amount of classic literature and art is about love, passion, and sexual misbehavior.
~Should children not be exposed to these things either?

It makes me laugh when you explain Wacky Wednesday to your listeners. It's startlingly similar to the "Pre-taped Call-in Show" skit by David Cross:

Hilarious. Perhaps we'll go with that format from now on. =)
