WTF,
\n mate? I'm glad the FCC realized how silly this is, but still. It's silly. It's silly, and it makes me mad.<\/p>\n
Here's a quote:
\n"In what community in America are graphic terms for genitalia decent?" said Lara Mahaney, a spokeswoman for the council.<\/p>\n
What's the difference between graphic and medical? One of the complaints involves an episode of "Friends" where a scene in a medical office where the conversation is about fertility options. I found the script, and here's the offensive part:<\/p>\n
<em>Chandler: (To the nurse at the nurses' station) My specimen is in the room and I just want to thank whoever knocked on the door while I was in there. Really helped speed the process along! (walks towards the common area and sees Janice is still there) Janice! You're not… gone?<\/p>\n
Janice: Oh! Sid is still in his room. I don't allow porn at home so this is like a vacation for him. So did you do it? Did you make your deposit?<\/p>\n
Chandler: Yeah! yeah… The hard part is over!<\/p>\n
Janice: That's not the hard part honey! The hard part is what comes next, I mean aren't you worried about the results?<\/p>\n
Chandler: I haven't… I haven't even thought about the results yet… I just assumed that everything was gonna be ok.<\/p>\n
Janice: Oh! Well, you know what? It probably is.<\/p>\n
Chandler: (Slightly panicky) Yeah, but what if it's not? What if there is a reason why we can't have a baby?<\/p>\n
Janice: Oh, Chandler, look. You and Monica are meant to have children. I am sure it's gonna be just fine.<\/p>\n
Chandler: (smiling again) oh, oh, yeah, ok, thanks. I can't believe I didn't even think of that. I guess I was just so worried about having to… come here and do… 'that'…<\/p>\n
Janice: What, you can do it in the parking lot of a Taco Bell, but you can't do it at a doctor's office?<\/p>\n
Chandler: (stares at her intently, then yells) It was a "Wendy's!! "<\/em><\/p>\n
A complaint over "The Simpsons," which airs on Fox, included a scene from a November 2003 episode in which students carried picket signs with the phrases "What would Jesus glue?" and "Don't cut off my pianissimo."<\/p>\n
I don't even know what that's referring to. I must have missed the episode. In any case, the whole thing is hilariously out of control.<\/p>\n
It's great that in our Republican-dominated government, we're adding more and more control, (which, I believe, is not the Republican credo) and completely ignoring the fact that this really wouldn't be a problem if parents monitored their kids' TV consumption, and maybe didn't let them watch TV all day. What if we smashed half the TVs in the US? I think there would still be plenty left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
