My parents (or at least my mother) were so against Beavis & Butthead that we weren't allowed to have any TV in our bedroom unless it could be "permanently" disabled from watching channel 3, MTV. Better to eliminate the entire channel than to risk us watching it. Since I was the resident nerd I was the one tasked with performing said disabling. It usually meant lifting a wire off rotary switches or detuning channel three for sets where it was separate. I always claimed it was permanent but I'm sure at least my stepfather understood that if I could do it, I could undo it.
