Here's my suggestion: let them have it. Just do it. Let the sexually bitter and morally frantic conservative groups now dictating governmental policy and FCC agendas and paranoid media attitudes have their time, their brief cultural burp, their little speed bump on the great and beckoning highway that will still lead us all, inexorably, irreversibly, though often agonizingly, toward grinning open-thighed progress.
Because here's the fabulous thing: no matter what these faux-Christian groups do, no matter how hard they oppress and protest and clamp down, this is a road that leads, despite all dour headlines and sour prognostications otherwise, toward spiritual illumination, toward awareness, toward sexual openness and same-sex marriage and revelatory sodomy and free vibrators for teenage girls and lesbians kissing open mouthed in the streets. In Kentucky. In the daytime. On Sunday.
It's true. All this and more, is gonna happen. This is my belief. Superlative homemade pornography and fetish dungeons and happy dildo supermarkets and the utter brilliance of the Suicide Girls and regular people having juicy consensual reasonably kinky respectful sex like it's no big deal, and it's all a matter of time, isn't it, before it will all erupt back to the surface of the culture and spread like hot karmic butter across the land. Maybe? You think?
And when that time comes, we shall look back on Janet Jackson's Nipplegate and the Monday Night Football backlash and the shrill outcry from various conservative and religious groups against the superlative movie "Kinsey" in the same way people look back on old bunions or leg warmers and laugh and point and shake their heads and sigh.
Because right now, we seem to be stuck. Mired. Hateful and narrow and sexually small and the country is right this minute being led, morally speaking,

Well, my main objection was that both episodes were tasteless, juvenile (especially that godawful mess passing as a script, for the MNF bit), gratuitous and UTTERLY UNRELATED TO FOOTBALL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD---but once gridlock mentioned it, I realized there was a lot of other material to object to as well.
I still don't think it's the audience that has "the problem". It's the performers who were so eager to degrade themselves with this stuff, and who were so surprised they weren't universally applauded for it.
Morfordite alert!
Cue the Twilight Zone music cause you're reading my mind.
Did you listen to John Gambling this morning?

"...What most amuses me about liberals is their media-induced belief that their opponents are up-tight and unhappy. Actually, all you need to do is compare postings on various different websites, and you will observe that the conservative sites are more confident, humorous, and at the same time serious. The liberals are paranoid, degenerate, and have trouble making or understanding a joke. Paradoxically, that is what makes them so funny..."
Excellent post, docbnj. Your observations match what I have witnessed for many years. The level of outright anger exhibited by the liberals is shocking. They're all about "tolerance and diversity" but will go into attack-mode in an instant. They have an unfortunate lack of humor and couldn't spot a double-entendre if they were led to it.
In addition to views on sexuality, one of my favorite topics is their view on firearms. It is common to see postings on DU saying something like, "All guns should be illegal. We should search all houses suspected of containing firearms, and if any are found...the owners should be executed on the spot..." In this example of firearms, they have no room for diversity. Their same inflexibility exists on a variety of topics.
One wonders if Mark Morford would really be happy with that world he described in his latest rant.

Nope, we don't get Gambling in my neck of the woods. Why, was he humming that tune?
Kinky is using a feather, perverted is using the whole chicken
Just so. The free market can solve this problem.
they go on and on and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on-and-on about what other people think about them having sex, who doesn't want them to have sex, blah blah blah.
I think they all have complexes about their mother looking over their shoulder.
Go have sex with a tree or a chair or your dog and just shut up about it. NO ONE CARES!!
Somebody needs to get Ms Morford back on her meds.
He had Flipper (Sean Hannity's former prodcution manager on). She was insisting that ESP was real and wanted to prove it. He was playing the Twilight Zone theme in the background.
Then I wonder why Flipper never heard that lobster screaming "Stop, that's fresh water you're about to release me into!" LOL.
How come everytime someone mentions lesbians they are always described as attractive or hot?
Those kind of Lesbians are few and far between. The Lesbians I see are not the ones you want to see kissing ANYTHING.
I would hate to think he's still all excited about the sexual revolution and utterly clueless as to its consequences.
But, then again, he is a brainy liberal.
To the author's credit, he didn't actually say they would be hot.

In Kentucky, liking sex better than basketball is considered perverted.
