Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent 821
The Parents Television Council says the "$#*!" in the title of the upcoming CBS show $#*! my dad says is indecent. From the article: "'CBS intentionally chose to insert an expletive into the actual name of a show, and, despite its claim that the word will be bleeped, it is just CBS's latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public,' declared PTC President Tim Winter. 'There are an infinite number of alternatives that CBS could have chosen, but its desire to shock and offend is crystal clear in this decision.'" By this logic Qbert was the filthiest game ever made.

Head of PTC: Absolutely. It's clearly indecent!
CBS: And you've sent press releases to every news organization and major blog across the country affirming that this is your position?
PTC. That's right. And what are you going to do about it?
CBS: (stifles a giggle) What am I going to do? Cartwheels all the way back to the office!

Just call the show "2 Girls 1 Cup". No one could say that name is indecent.

Did they even google "tea bagging" before they started that?
Oh not googling is not the bad part.
The bad part, is they did google it.

Sex=shame is one of the most fucked up things invented in order to control women and take their power away.
I think it has more to do with the higher responsibility women have with sex. Men can't get pregnant.
A sexually empowered woman is a power to behold and scares many men shitless.
A very fat woman as well. And more so in fact.

You mean it stars $#4!ner.
In Britain "$#4!" is a colloquial past tense of "to $#*!" as in "he $#4! his pants".

I feel bad for you. My grandfather was fucking awesome and would occasionally even use fancy curse words like 'shitass' and 'fuckered' around us grandkids.
Note: He was a sailor in WW2.

For all you idiots going for the "funny" tag here, this is NOT a joke. This coven of fundamentalist idiots has a HUGE amount of clout with the FTC. More than they deserve. So while you all sit here making jokes and trying to get tagged "Funny", or invoking the frankly idiotic "Flying Spaghetti Monster" trying to be smarter than the lowly, deluded Xtians, THESE people are influencing policy and dictating what you see and hear.
Real fucking funny. Why not try opposing them for once?
