Swearing on Television Up 69%

[atol]

Did anyone even look at the list of swear words?
"Crap," "damn," "bastard," "suck," "screw," "hell." ...

 

[vanthebaron]

PTC can rot in a hole for all i care, I agree with libertarians on this issue, TAKE CARE OF YOU OWN KIDS, IT NOT THE GOVERNMENTS JOB.

 

[The Imp]

Makes me think of that George Carlin HBO special and the "dirty words". Still funny as hell, gay is perfectly ok as an insult but shit, piss, c*nt, fuck, ************, tits, turd and twat isn't.

*censored it just to avoid penalty.

To those of you living in the U.S.: Are there even r-rated movies, The Exorcist as a prime example, on network television or is everything all the time pg?

 

[A Pious Cultist]

What the fuck is up with being allowed to use 'gay' as an insult?! Seriously, get your shit together guys.

Anything "organisation" with "family" in the name has pretty much two aspects to its mission statement:
*Hate on the gays
*Hate on abortion

It doesnt suprise me that a "parents" organisation follows suit.

Hurr Hurr...69...thats the same thing as a sexual position...hurr...hurr.

Cunting arsewankers, you don't shitehawking like the swearing on dickfiddling television? Don't damngaying watch it after 9.

Boobs.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Seriously? Is someone getting paid to do this type of shit? Count swearwords?

Here's a study for your headlines: 93% of PTC Members likely to be an Older Overweight *****.

Yaaaah!

Great job everyone!

POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS PREVAILS AGAIN!

*vanishes in cloud of smoke*

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Really? That sat there and fucking counted every swear word on TV? That's getting into Ned Flanders levels of stick-up-assery.

 

[Woodsey]

"the PTC does not seem to regard slurs based upon race, sexuality, etc., as profane"

/facepalm

As long as you're white and straight you're OK then - sounds about right *grumble*

These people are morons.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Some of the stuff THEY count as swears are things almost all of society don't count as swears so right out of the gate, they lose credibility. Nice going.

I thought that was a given already.

OT: These people will always find something to whine and moan about in their great crusade to "protect the family/children" from the horror's of tv and what not.

 

[Tehlanna TPX]

Lying is always the best way to prove that lazy parenting is not at fault for shitty children.

Oh, and the biggest issue with swears on television? Censoring 'god' and 'tits'. Like seriously?

Fuck censorship.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

seriously im with libertarians on this one so i think these orginizations should GTFO

And the other 7%? Milquetoasts and Yes-men. Or closet pedophiles. At least that's how all those PTC people come off. I'm a parent and this shit is just seriously beyond ridiculous at this point.

 

[TaboriHK]

No, the real story is that they've altered what they consider to be profane, and as a result the "offenses" have stacked up. I'm really tired of the language police in this country. The social hypochondria is unbelievable.

 

[supaflystrikes]

The use of "fuck" went up 2400%.

Awesome.

 

[OldAccount]

George Carlin would be proud. =)

Shit, Piss, Fuck, ****, CockSucker, ************, and Tits!

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Let's face it, Sopranos and Deadwood probably take 50% of that.
