Bill Clinton is pleased.
I'm no fan of vulgarity but if ever there was an appropriate moment to let loose a blue streak, that would have been it.
What are these people thinking?
Most TVs I've seen come with a free "Off" switch.
What a bunch of mincing pansies.
Sorry. But the actual words spoken by actual living people in actual events, of such a historic nature do not deserve any editing simply because we object to the choice of words some of the actual people used. History deserves that we hear their actual words, warts and all. They should not be sanitized for us. They are not our words and we are not responsible for them, nor must we feel guilty about our government letting others hear them.
The call for the editing is grossly misplaced, in this particular instance.
Wildmon is an embarassment.
Mind your own business.
What "hardcore profanity?" I saw that when it first aired. There was mild profanity, and the sound of bodies hitting the pavement. I wouldn't recommend it to the squeemish, but it doesn't rate being censored.
When a plane literally flies into the building you are in, you have the right to say whatever expletives you like - and no impressionable young kids should be watching that live anyway.
Anyone old enough to watch a documentary about 9/11 has already heard the F-word in daily conversation.
I saw it the first time around. The rating shown was clearly not for children, then viewers were warned about profanity before it started, then Robert DeNiro warned about the language *after* it started.
How much of a clue do people need that there are BAD WORDS a-comin'? Honestly. The world does not revolve around children. Send the little buggers off to another room for two hours. Or watch something else.
Screw the AFA.

I have no desire to ignore history. I have no desire to santize it for my children's sake. My older two will be watching; they are old enough to handle it. The youngest one will be sticking with Spongebob.
Then again, I insist on parent my own children, as opposed to letting someone else do it for me.
Well, because of these idiots and the FCC my local station has moved the broadcast from 8 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Complete and absolute stupidity. The station manager said they ran the same show twice in the first year after 9/11 and didn't get a single complaint. But now dolts who listen to this organization have written to complain about a program they haven't even seen -- a program they know will have four-letter words so they've been warned and can simply turn it off or bar children from watching. How hard is that?
Somebody please save us from these puritan nutcases.
