A Website full of people you want to smack.

"The f-word aired only one time on primetime broadcast TV in all of 1998 – yet it appeared 1,147 times on primetime broadcast TV in 2007 on 184 different programs."

I have NEVER heard the F word on primetime TV.

They even count it when it's BLEEP'ed out :devil:

But you dont' watch everything ever with the express purpose of being outraged by it.
 
You do, of course, realize this THIS is a website full of people those people would want to smack..

And that we are no better than them...

Our hypocrisy runs so deep that we are just as closeminded about their beliefs as they are about ours...

By bitching about them, you give them legitimacy...

Just thought I'd point that out...

Carry on!:techman:
So bitching about their insane goal of censoring everything so as not to offend their kiddie-friendly sensibilities makes us close-minded? How exactly?
 
surely common sense tells you that shows like The Shield, The Unit or Desperate Housewives or Sex and the City aren't aimed at the under 15s any way from what they're about or when they're broadcast?

Apparently it doesn't. Honestly, the whole website is a laugh fest.
 
What are you all complaining about?

It's the perfect site for finding filthy, violent and pornographic shows/movies/ads out there.. :devil:

They are doing you a service. Bookmark it today!
 
And, no, I'm not talking about this boards, TNZ, Troll Kingdom or even TWoP.

BOOM

I hate the mentality behind people who start websites like this who think everything a child could be exposed to has to be tailored to them.

Maybe you should keep your little darlings away from the TV if you don't like it?

There's am article on there about them ranting about a TV-14 rated episode of "Two and Half Men" featuring a strip club.

Aparently, NO 14 year old has ever seen a good looking woman in a bikini dancing. :rolleyes:

God.

And maybe family viewing hours shouldn't have strippers featured on network tv.

Oh, and St. Nick, Friends was the worst show on tv not because of the reason you mentioned. It was the worst show on tv because it was the worst show on tv. It was BRUTAL.

The "strip" scene was anything but. It was a woman dancing in a bikini, albeit, in a sensual manner in a strip-club setting.

The show was rated TV-14. All the warning a concerned parent should need of their precious 13 year old seeing a pretty woman dancing in a bikini. Because, NO teenager has seen that.

I don't think a strip club is appropriate content for a young child. No need to expose the 12 and under crowd to such things.

I don't necessairly disagree. So when that "TV-14" comes up at the begining of the show you tell the 12 year old to leave the room or change the channel.

Just because we believe they are nuts doesn't mean that they don't have a point with what they are trying to do..

Look, I'm just playing a heavy handed devils advocate here. I love the blood guts and gore as much as anyone here.. I'm just saying that we're no better than they are...

And maybe you should change the channel or turn the TV off instead of counting on the government to parent your children for you - all while treating adults as children right along with them.

Their point is to force censorship on everyone because they're too lazy to keep an eye on what their children are watching. So yes, they are nuts.

How? How is criticizing them for being censor happy being "no better than they are"? Don't wait for the translation! Answer me now! :klingon:

I knew we'd agree on something someday. It's a Christmas miracle! :bolian:

I REALLY wish the govt would mandate that parental controls be built in to all new TVs, DVD players and cable boxes. Then these people wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

They'd still complain of course, but it'd make them even more fringe than they are now.
 
I wish I was in charge of the FCC. Instead of fining stations, I'd hand out bonuses. "What's that? Full frontal nudity? Here's ten grand." :cool:
