Do you mean Geraldo?<BR/><BR/>I too can do without the foul language and the almost too real images in some of the television shows.<BR/><BR/>Is it tasteful and "okay" that images of Jesus and Mary are displayed in vulgar images all for the sake of "art" and First Amendment Rights?<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do have the ability to change the channel if it offends, however, I feel that TOO MUCH freedom is given and always with the First Amendment Rights speech.<BR/><BR/>I feel it should also be MY first amendment right that I want prayer brought back to schools. It is also my First Amendment Right that any signs that are now in place regarding the Ten Commandments, etc. be left where they are and not removed because of the ACLU and others. It is again within my First Amendment Rights to not have every reference to God removed from currency or the Pledge of Allegiance, etc.<BR/><BR/>Where are MY First Amendment Rights? They are being swallowed up by all the liberals in this country who have swayed from the true founding of our country...FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!<BR/><BR/>Put that in your pipe and smoke it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-36809316320753450602007-06-09T05:17:00.000-04:002007-06-09T05:17:00.000-04:00I could also do without the horrible menace to TV ...I could also do without the horrible menace to TV that is Rick Sanchez.

The FCC was created to regulate the technical aspects of radio. Such as who can use what frequency, using what type of modulation, taking up so much bandwidth, and only with so much power. <BR/><BR/>It was the 20s or 30s when the church bullied the FCC into going after content. And since then it only got worse and worst.<BR/><BR/>But I think this is great really. Fox won. Who will the head turd on a stick Bill O'Reilly blame for the "lack of moral values" on the TV? His employer? And if Fox is really so terrible to air smut - will he keep accepting their paycheck? <BR/><BR/>This is really very simple. If you do not like a TV show - do not watch it. Do not complain about it. Do not talk about it. Watch something else! Promote another show you like better. If the potty mouth show gets bad ratings it will go off the air. <BR/><BR/>If it gets good ratings, whose fault is it? The TV network - or the people watching it? <BR/><BR/>And am I the only one who thinks it is funny that the network best known for pushing the line and testing boundaries the most is also the network with the "moral values" news slant? <BR/><BR/>And really all you Fox News anchors, are you going to call for a national boycott of all Fox shows because they are foul and immoral? Of course not. You are all money whores just like everyone else on the TV. Might as well just admit it.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-87838086252544312462007-06-07T08:05:00.000-04:002007-06-07T08:05:00.000-04:00In your cited examples there are victims, the chil...In your cited examples there are victims, the child and the goat (except in the state of Washington where it is still legal).

What if CBS suddenly decided that it was their "choice" to show a man having sex with a goat on prime time TV? We have certain standards, and it's a shame to see them continuing to erode. It has nothing to do with choice when there are other words which can be substituted for all the standard blue ones.<BR/><BR/><B>Jenn,</B> alas, very true.<BR/><BR/><B>Eshuneutics,</B> thank you so very much for weighing in with such excellent points.

His point was that such words shouldn't be used "fleetingly", but with deliberation, and used in literature with precision and care. The whole idea that any word can be used "fleetingly" devalues language. As Gass migh have put it: a casual f*** is not a f*** worth having. So much of the profane language nowadays is exactly as you described. So, I turned on the tv last night, and it came on Channel 4 because that was the last channel watched, which meant I was watching (without choice) Big Brother. Instantly, I was greeted with a stream of obscenities. They served no point beyond being offensive and demonstrating what happens when you have a programme based around people who can't speak English and can't talk to on another and think that an ejaculation in Jane Austen is a sex act. I agree with you fully. This isn't a free speech issue: it's an issue about quality and taste. Oh dear, I am probably being elitist!A.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08716463684593767622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-26142597302857248032007-06-06T15:10:00.000-04:002007-06-06T15:10:00.000-04:00it gets harder and harder to be shocking these day...it gets harder and harder to be shocking these days... the words loose their impact when they become commonplace.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15143372699214608921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-41011073062409310712007-06-06T08:44:00.000-04:002007-06-06T08:44:00.000-04:00In my opinion it's about taking away freedom of ch...In my opinion it's about taking away freedom of choice. Your denegrating the writers CHOICE to use the language, the networks CHOICE to broadcast the shows that use the language, the advertisers CHOICE to sponser the shows that use the language and the viewers CHOICE to choose to watch the shows that use the language.<BR/><BR/>Is the use the use of profane language appropriate on network television, no (IMHO). Does the use of profane language in television lower the level of discourse of our society as a whole, probably yes (IMHO). Do we need more laws from big brother protecting us from hearing this language, ABSOLUTELY NOT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
