Expletive gets through on 'SNL'
NBC did all it could to remain in compliance with the anal retentive FCC rules regarding profanity and it galls me that this is even considered news worthy when so many real profanities aren't. Profanities like an illegal war for instance or the genocide occuring right now in Darfur.
It's absurd in the extreme. I suppose one day I won't be allowed to express myself or my outrage here on my personal blog either, without fear of reprisals from sanctimonious straight laced bible thumpers who object to my chosen form of expression. It will be a sad day indeed if and when that happens.
I am not a big cusser here on my blog but sometimes it's NECESSARY to get my feeling of outrage across. I would never intentionally do it, if it had the potential to harm someone else like the asshole on SNL did but I certainly reserve the right to be as potty mouthed as I need to be in my own personal space. You come here ... you risk seeing a cuss word. End of story.
I keep dreaming that one day the FCC will wake up from it's bible based stupor and realize that they are quickly becoming a mockery of their former self. An organization so out of touch with reality that they can no longer see the big picture. They then recant all of their recent repressive regulations and go back to supporting freedom of expression and speach at which point little cherubs come out of the clouds and start shooting all the remaining evangelicals with cupid style arrows that make them see the truth of their sad sorry little lives at which point they all repent and start acting sane and we all go back to living like we used to.
I DID say it was just a dream, didn't I?
