Ozzy is like HBO, overloaded with the F-word. This attracts young audience who in turn buy things. It is a show about a filthy tong family of long hairs and tattoos! What a good example of an American family that Hollywood is exposing us to. We should all use the F-word at least twice in every sentence. Ozzy is a has been. The cultural elites, i.e. the communists of Hollywood made him an attraction. This stupid guy has been on the Jay Leno's show twice in the past month. Other celebrities would kill to get on that show, and this looser gets on twice in one month?

well........in today's society i must say at least ozzy is married to the women who gave him the children, at least the children are from the same married parents, at least ozzie and sharon are home living a family life and not in some bar. i don't know why cursing is such a big deal in this mad world that is the least people should be offended by. TV is full of lesbians, unmarried pregnant women, look at the show friends, i think rachel is gross and the whole idea of a single pregnant slut is something to be worried about your children watching. that the way i see it :)

Okay, I'll do my best and try to cut down some....

Ah, the only one with long hair and tattoos is Ozzy.

Long Live Ozzy!

The f*** you will, you no good f***.

"Inoyoucanotevenwhoisthaimeanwhaisthemeaninofthawhayousureyoucansaywhaimeanisthaisnoughokwayatharite" says Ozzy, in agreement.

[Own Drummer]

Given a choice between Ozzy and Pat Robertson, I'd take Ozzy, every time.

Rock music is all about marketing, and Ozzy's doing it to perfection.

BTW, Sharon Osbourne is a total babe.

And when did MTV ever show "beautiful people" playing music? (Marilyn Manson and Joe Walsh come to mind, here...)

[FormerLib]

The show is a testament to the damage that drug abuse can do.

THIS WEEK: Watch as John Stossel rolls out yet another barrel full of fish, and starts shooting at them!!!

It's exciting!

Once again, John Stossel is the sucking leech on American media.

This guy has not had an original idea since the Eisenhower Administration, and I don't know if he was even alive then.

[Hoosier Patriot]

Well, since Ozzy put it that way, I now see my error clearly and must join in agreement as well. Thanks for the help Laz. And you too Ozzy.

Stossels show on the environmental left indoctrination going on in government schools was outstanding.

Lighten up!

Like who???????????????????????

Mmmmm lets see what Hollyweird commie we can put on there. Should we start with the scientologists; Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Or how about socialist like Sara Jessica Parker, Barbara "I love Bubba" Streisand, Rose O'Fats, Ted Turner, Martin "I live in a dream world and really think I AM THE PRESIDENT" Sheen, Ted Danson, the cast of Friends, Ali McDumbass, ER, and The Left Wing, need I go on? I made my point.

At least Ozzy doesn't pretend to be someone he's NOT, unlike the rest them. He's is more American than most American's are now!

[bloodmeridian]

Actually, Ozzy rocks better than most people half his age. And the show is hyterical; there's just no better word to describe it.

[bloodmeridian]

Lighten up!

Or, as Ozzy would have put it, "Get the f--- out of here."

[tal hajus]

I've always believed Ozzy was at his best with Tony, Geezer, and Bill backing him up.

I'm still trying to figure out what a "looser" is. I mean, is that worse than "poophead" but not as bad as "stinky pants?"

"Stossels show on the environmental left indoctrination going on in government schools was outstanding."

So was his show about "Why America is Number 1" (I think that was title). Showed America vs India and then compared India to Hong Kong. Bottom line - it's freedom. You would expect America to do better than India bec of the population and limited resources, right? JS showed how wrong that is by bringing in Hong Kong. The this is, the US is (relatively) free to conduct business and HOng Kong is ever more free in that re. India on the other hand allows businesses only if approved by committee and the approval takes two years -- if you're lucky. Lot more to it, but that was the thrux. Excellent show. Libs/communist should be forced to watch it.

Any word on what the psychiatric evaluations actually said? Not positive I'm sure, but specifics could be interesting.

Of note is how attentive the MTV audience is to a [mostly] traditional family: hard-working artist/businessman is successful, lives in a nice house, has a devoted pretty wife, two normal (more or less) kids, and has to deal with mundane home events. Contrast the Osbourne family with much of their audience: broken homes, really messed-up parents and/or kids, crummy living conditions, etc.

Really says something about a culture when the best traditional role models are The Osbournes and The Simpsons.
