Hollywood seems to be a code word by some to mean "ungodly stuff".
San Fernando Valley is Porn capital of the world according to some so we can use the word "San Fernando" when referring to the internet. But of course we know that not all stuff that is on the internet is porn

This seems to point out the problem with attempting to legislate everything. Words do have meaning, but often times they can have differing meanings.
When television was introduced it only could propagate a single media - the broadcast signal. No TV meant no way to receive the signal. But now we have signals within signals and all types of media that can be used to propagate a "TV-like" program. So for many people, when you say "No TV" you're telling them "No pictures of the grandkids from across the country..."
It's better to preach principles. Technologies change and industries can move to other towns.
