WARNING:

Due to the graphic nature...side effects...psoriasis...internal bleeding...liver failure...and so forth...that will result from watching the following program, viewer discretion is advised.

Discretion (def): individual choice or judgement.

And so begins another episode of one of my favorite disclaimer-preceded programs. The shows that have been deemed "too risky" to air without giving the viewer this trusty heads-up.
Be careful, television viewer! You may have to use judgement!

Usually I'll sit down with a bowl of steaming pork hocks, prepared for hours upon hours of warm, glowing enjoyment, with not a thought in my mind. Let alone the horrifying notion that I might have to make a decision?! No. This is not what I signed up for. Thank you, Explicit Program Discretion Warning! You have relieved me the burdens of deduction, analytical reasoning, and decision-making, and you have placed them squarely on your powerful, right-angled shoulders. You will be forever revered by an unblinking populace!
