FCC Crazy Fucked up Madness

[Seshmeister]

Time to reclaim your country before it becomes worse than fucking Iran.

I listen to the Penn Jillette show each day on podcast. Last week he got thrown off NPR for saying 'Godammit' which is insane but yesterday it reached a whole new level of insanity.

http://www.pennfans.net/radio_show_archive/The.Penn.Jillette.Radio.Show.2006.09.19.mp3

A caller phoned in on their monkey theme saying that she had her nipple bitten off by a monkey at a petting zoo.

The word 'nipple' was blocked out. CBS in New York told the show that it was unacceptable so there was 20 minutes of the caller and Penn trying to work around not saying that disgusting evil word.

'A monkey bit off my nipple' is offensive or actionable in some way?

That is some crazy crazy shit.

FreeFM? Hahahaha

I'm not some nut, I have a 3 year old and I've had the moment where she couldn't sleep or something and had to make a mad dash for the remote when someone swore on TV late at night.

I've managed to get her to 3 without hearing or at least noticing a sweary word.

You have pencil necked repressed fucking closet fucking weirdos running your media. Everyone can agree that the stuff Stern is doing on satellite radio is not what any right minded person would expose their kid to on the way to school. I have no problem with that. I even have some sympathy with the argument that they may accidently put on a hardcore show with people shouting fuck if it's over the radio waves.

But 'Nipple'???

What the fuck?

The first thing any baby sticks in their mouth is some sort of secret offensive word? It's dirty in some way?

Breasts are dirty, the work of the devil?

I'm so far from being some new age hippy but that's totally crazy.

I fear for your country.

Welcome to Bush's America.

[BITEYOASS]

Yeah, life sucks over here in America. But I'm gonna do something about it in November, even though I live in one of the biggest damn red states in america, the damn buckle of the bible belt. But don't worry, it's not entirely red.

[FORD]

No state is entirely red. Not even Utah. And I have a feeling a lot of them are going to be a dark purple, as opposed to magenta, after the next election.

[Nitro Express]

We can't say nipple but we can say Bush. The president's last name reffers to a hairy vagina. Censors! Where art thou!

[Nitro Express]

I live in a Republican state but my county is Democrat.

It's a pity the system means that you have to raise millions of dollars to stand. Otherwise you could change your name to Mr Titties and run.:)

No shit.... when Chimpy was first running, and Cheney & Powell were on his campaign, you had a Bush, a Dick, and a Colon. And look at the damage they have done. Fucking this country in more ways than one.

And they're bitching about nipples?

Why not completely blue?

Not even my supposedly "liberal" state is completely blue. :(

East of the mountains is as RED as they come.....

State Line should be at Leavenworth;)

Update.

Listening to a podcast from FreefM from last April.

Scrotum gets bleeped too.

If you don't get rid of this idiotic shit then in 10 years or so ithen the US is going to be like those stupid fucking Arab countries where gynacologists have to be blindfolded...

Well fuck, I'm doing the best I can! Don't get your fuckin kilt in a bunch! LOL :D I'm warning people left and right back home in Michigan not to vote for that Dick (Devos) of a ScAmway artist for Governor.

Trust me, in some instances that may not be a bad thing. Nose plugs can be helpful too.

Perhaps you need a better circle of friends......

Those with proper hygeine for starters.....

You mean "Grody" Jody or Heather "Header Better" aren't the type of girls I should go out with? Yeah, I figured that out too when I was about 19 or so. Live and learn.

[FORD]

The FCC rules are selectively endorsed to put it mildly. I was watching TV the other night and the show had at least a dozen "shits" and "bullshits" within an hour.

Of course it was on the FX channel, owned by Rupert Murdoch. Don't suppose that had anything to do with it?

[sadaist]

The problem is, they (tv networks, radio stations) are all gun shy. Especially after the Janet Jackson stripte....malfunction. It's not that they are especially morally against these words or their use, they just don't want to get fined. It's crazy. People who complain that you can't say "nipple" on the radio will immediately go home and call their wife a "fucking bitch".

What an incredibly stupid, and ridiculous generalization :rolleyes:


No threat of this being a cut n paste.....

Only one person I know of would be as stupid as to actually type this tripe:rolleyes:

Care to back this stupid claim up, sade?


I didn't think so, troll :cool:

[BITEYOASS]

Right now the standards of decency in america are ass-backwards. You can show a snuff film about the crucifixtion of Jesus, but god forbid if you show some scantily clad women bouncing on a trampelene. And hot couples having consensual sex (be it gay or straight) is morally indecent, yet extreme S&M treatment of Iraqi prisoners is vital to the moral fabric of our nation. It's a pretty fucked up assesment of the direction the United States of America is heading.

[FORD]

Well, it's not like the BCE wanted anyone to see the S&M treatment of Iraqi prisoners.....

[BITEYOASS]

Although I find hardcore porn to be demeaning, seeing that it is just a bunch of silicone injected coke-skanks just trying to make a buck, about as bad as films showing actual acts of violence rather than using special effects to simulate it. Softcore is more of my style, better acting, natural looking women and a decent plot. If it is violent, I'll never watch anything involving gore, just a very interesting and original plot.

That being said, I wouldn't put a censor any type of film just because I don't like it. This type of belief is just detrimental to the contitutional integrity of the nation. Yet in this age of fundamentalist religion, institutional indoctrination of the masses trumps over personal freedoms. The last time fundamentalist religion had total control over government, witch burnings due to paranoid fanaticism were commonplace and acceptable.

Fuck, I can't believe this SHIT.

I was just watching some Fake Floyd concert on PBS probably the Pulse DVD or whatever.....

They started playing "Money" and fucking PBS bleeped out "Bullshit"

From a song that's been on the radio for 35 fucking years?????

And they have the nerve to criticize the Islamic "12th century mentality"???

Sure. My meaning is that the same people who are soooooo offended by language such as that on the radio or television are most likely using obscene language in their everyday life. How many people were shocked when the word "bitch" was first used on tv? It was such a huge deal. Yet in almost any circle of friends, women use the term to describe other women all the time. Men use it to describe women all the time (and sometimes to describe whiny men). It was only a big deal because it was on tv.
