Was he driving a Chebbie? No wonder his pit crew was cussing!
(Ducks, laughs evilly and runs for the hills!!!)
I would suggest that if you raise your child in such a fashion that hearing a single word traumatizes them, you've done a poor job of parenting.
People like this are the scourge of society. They are of the mindset that believes "Why should I work when I can sue someone frivolously and get money.".
Agreed. We like to think that this garbage only comes from the left, but there are some on the right who are perfectly happy to join in.
Sure enough, they botched it during the first game -- a Yankee game, of course -- when Fox broadcast some colorful comments from the Yankee dugout.
The broadcasting network is ultimately responsible for what goes out over the airwaves.
Having said that, I also think there is no reason to come down hard on anyone in NASCAR who describes their car as a "piece of sh!t." People use this term to describe cars all the time.
And they say we're not descended from apes.
(Well, at least some of us are.)
ROTFLMAO
I work for a corporate law firm, you would not believe the crap I have seen from people trying to get big $$$.
I hear a lot worse in my opinion on the nightly drama shows--starting with a------ and going down from there.
And if anyone thinks 'freaking' refers to freaking out then they better get a clue. But those are deliberately put into the shows to create realism, ie. real life.
Things like this are gonna happen in real life and on live braodcasts, especially with the good ole boys of NASCAR.
The Christian right should get over it.
It's hardly news that Donald Wildmon is a, er, doo-doo head.
All of this seems to me to be the thing Conservatives do not like about the current legal system and that is going after the deep pockets and not the person who did wrong.
Nobody on FOX said this. They apologized immediately for something they did not say but did not catch. I am sure everyone in the control room was tired as they all filled in a couple of extra hours with the snow delays. They are listening to people who, depending upon your location in the USA, have a accent and to be honest may have been asleep at the switch.
If you want to go after FOX for some of their other programming then you can count me with you. This was a microscopic bump in programming compared to other sports, programming and commercials.
Some people need to grow up. There are worse things than hearing a cuss word. On the other hand, cussing is a good sign of immaturity.
And for the record NASCAR was never my favorite thing to watch and even more so now that they've decided to ban the Confederate battle flag.
If you're going to eavesdrop on the pit crew...
This language is unacceptable for children, and I will not have it in my home.
If you feel that way, do not let your home participate in the electronic eavesdropping of men at their work. You won't have that problem.
Any night,in prime time,on network TV, you can see people (graphically) murdered,almost x-rated sex scenes,witchcraft glorification,drug lifestyle glorification.
What have I missed?
If I'm not mistaken, I thought I heard the same word escape the lips of that pony-tail guy at The Masters yesterday.
Don't spend your life shootin up in the trash
homeless on the streets giving handjobs for cash
Follow this plan and very soon you will saaay
Its easy mmmkay!
One of the funniest things I ever heard was either Klick or Klack (the car-talk guy) relating how his crew of mechanics described a bad muffler.
"That muffler is obviously made of inferior material."
But the way he said it, you know what the mechanic really said.
In my day the euphemism was "fetching".
