FCC APPROVES USE OF THE "F" WORD ON TV AND RADIO!

The Federal Communications Commission has approved the use of the "F" word for use on any TV show or radio program, ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT!

The FCC said the word can be used whenever desired except in sexual situations!

>>That means that real soon you will be watching a sit-com on TV, or news, or any drama or movie-ANY PROGRAM-and it*s ok! Hollywood is rejoicing!

>>Soon, when you are driving your kids to school you will be listening to a song which makes extensive use of the word.

>>Shock jocks such as Howard Stern are now free to use any language, no matter how vile and repugnant, on their radio shows. And use it they will.

>>No longer will movies shown on TV have to be edited because of language.

WE MUST ACT NOW TO STOP THIS!

Send your letter to your Congressman, Senators and members of the FCC.

Let them know that you want this stopped-NOW!

Please send your letter now. And please forward this letter to your email list asking them to get involved.

If it isn*t stopped now, in a few months verbal pornography will rule the airways!

Please act today. Help us get 1,000,000 email letters to members of Congress, Senators and FCC Commissioners.

Thanks for getting involved!

Yet ---- if one of the networks put that show on --- played reruns of it at 4 or 5pm --- or some of the other shows they used to have ---- kids today would be watching them. My kids don't even watch Saturday morning cartoons -- I'm not even sure they have them anymore.

In a way it's interesting. I remember as a kid wondering in amazement how my own parents grew up before tv --- I never figured out what they did without it --- and now I see my own kids pretty much living without it --- although the television is there it's pretty much used for vcrs.

I think your post will be gone soon...

I was going to ping you but I should have known you'd find this thread first. ;)

I'm sure the FCC will be happy when we use the F word next time we describe the Rats on radio and TV.

Mine don't hear it at school.

I'm paying private school tuition money, and I check to ensure that they are NOT hearing those words.

My daughter said she was hearing the C word at school. I asked her what that was. She said, one boy called girls "crazy" and got in trouble for it.

We don't watch TV anymore--the Monica Lewinsky saga was the cause of that. I was babysitting. I left the room to change a diaper, and came back, and my friends' 8 year old asked me what oral sex was. There was Clinton on TV and commentators explaining what he was in trouble for.

That was it for CBS and I soon determined that NBC and ABC were equally unprotective of my living room. Now we just don't have it on. And we haven't missed it a bit.

I don't think my children know that the TV can be used for something other than DVDs and videos (carefully selected.)

[EveningStar]

I'm sure you're right. :)

Thanks for the ping. This thread made my day.

It's interesting --- even if you allow kids to watch television they don't --- there really isn't anything on anymore. I don't see my kids friends ever say "hey lets watch television" even older kids seem to just want to rent a vcr to watch. It's become the biggest bore around.

There are a lot more important troubles than the f-bomb on TV or radio. The economy. The number of abortions. Gun grabbers. That mf'er George Soros. The Democraps. Bin Laden's people.

You seem not to notice the connection between debaucherous behavior, which includes speech, and abortions, simple-minded gun grabbers, Usama Bin Laden's attacks on our country, and the Democrat belief system and world events.

Much of the world hates us because we approve of things which are unseemly. Non-western societies see our failings for what they are because they didn't grow up with perverted values like we did, generally speaking.

Seriously though; What's the big deal. It's just a word.

well - I can evision someone in the not too distant future...suing thier boss for allowing filth like this in thier place of employment by creating a hostile work environment

When my mom comes to visit, she watches. She likes these dramas, legal shows mostly, that come on before my kids are even in bed. Having it on drives me crazy. I'm not going to enjoy it when the F word is being used on her shows in MY living room. I love my mom, but this TV thing just sets my teeth on edge even without the F word. It seems that every show features people either swapping spit or yelling at each other, and that's about all that goes on.

I honor my mom; I don't say a word about the TV when she's here. She sacrifices a lot to come be with her grandchildren and she helps me so much with the house, etc. But I just don't understand why any intelligent person can stand to watch it. It's just me, I guess.

No effing way!

Mine was zapped too...I knew it wouldn't last.....I just didn't have the time to edit every word.

[BeerSwillr]

Ahem, I respectfully beg to differ with you on this point...

Can I use the phrase "f-ing Democrat" on FR?

[buccaneer81]

we won't have to pretend that its a "Leave it to Beaver" world.

Think about it. How many times did June say at breakfast, "Ward, you were pretty hard on the beaver last night"?

The addendum you posted after the reposting of the article does seem to say the same thing the article said. It just used more words.
