Today, I was forced to spend New Years Eve with my strict/conservative parents in the middle of nowhere in Illinois. If I had nothing else, I looked forward to watching the ball drop in NYC. As the seconds counted down the T.V. shut off. Parental controls shut down cable at midnight. FML

what the f.... how old ate you 12? I don't get this, what do they think is going to happen to the tv shows that come on at 11? that it will show you **** and tell you where to buy heroin? I would be furious if my parents had ever tried this shit... and people who say It's cause they care is b.s. they are just controlling. its usually the kids with parents like this that end up going crazy in college because its the first time they don't have their parents watching their every move

Ugh...parental controls? i could understand if there were small kids living in the house, but c'mon...having an automatic timer is just a bit ridiculous. OP, do they think you're a kid? Why could they not have deactivated the controls for that one night? Are they really that conservative?

Ever since I learned about undescended testicles, I can't hear the phrase "ball drop" and keep a straight face. When they say that a million people are in Times Square waiting for the ball to drop, I think they are all staring at some dude's crotch, waiting for his scrotum to be filled. Anyways, you didn't miss much except Jennifer Lopez' camel toe. :D I find the whole thing with Dick Clark incredibly sad.

Well he was better this year. Don't worry Op, you didn't miss much. Sure the ball dropped but the whole end of the show felt like Bingo Night at the crazy joint. JLo is the aunt every loves to hate, with the dead possum coat and the camel toe. And then poor Dick with half his face dead from the seizure. It was sad. Almost as sad as not figuring out your parental control code. Jeez, just keep typing in numbers. They will never know.

Fake! The ball drops in NYC, which is Eastern Standard Time, all of Illinois is Central Standard Time, explain that to me...

They replayed the Carson Daly ball drop with a one-hour delay for those of us on Central Time. But it was not kid-friendly to watch Carson's ******** descend on cue.
