Alright I am sure you have heard about the skit before the MNF game about Terrel Owens and the desperate housewives chick. Who do you think went to far do you think the Channel went to far about it or do you think the FCC is just blowing this way out of water. I read something that totally blew me out of the water today also. Michael Powell the head of the FCC said that skit was to racially disturbing. I am far from being a racist and I do not see anything wrong with a black man and white woman or a white man with a black woman. I believe Powell is taking this to far. I dont want anybody the head of the FCC that is a racist.

I just didn't like heo fact TO was in it. I really wish there was a DB or LB that would put a good hurtin on that guy. He's a great wo but has got to have the biggest mouth in th NFL. Prime Time wasn't even has bad as this fool. At least put someone in the commercial with some class...

Hot chicks in commercials can't be bad...

The FCC is leading the crusade at home. Fear them.

Another conspiracy. what are GH's buzz words for the next 4 years ? The Zealot evangelical rihgtwing Christians have panted chips into everyones brains to control their minds. Except left wing whacko's that rationalize everything with a conspiracy.

TK: I do not see any sort of conspiracy. That is usually the domain of paranoid right wing survivalist and such.

What I do see is evangelical Christian groups exercising ever more control of the airwaves to assure us that, God forbid, we see a peek of a womans breast or use the seven words certain to doom us all to hell. (Oops, I hope Hell isn't one of the words.)

There are some VERY repressed folks out there that think a woman's breast is somehow dirty. (Folks who ask that capital artwork be draped, and who tell us 9 11 happend bacause God is angry about our immoral ways.

I thought the GOP favored free choice and freedom of thought. Seems to me that folks who don't want to see such awful things as a womans bare back,which was all that was revealed in the commercial, or those nasty breasts could simply change the chanel.

If no one wanted to watch such awful stuff, the ratings would drop and the stations would stop showing it. Pure capitalism, the bulwark of the GOP. Right?

Dave,

"What I do see is evangelical Christian groups exercising ever more control of the airwaves to assure us that"

And the left wing liberals have had their way for over 40 years with the airwaves steadily going down hill. Why object to making it more reasonable? I personally do not mind the content and I know I can turn the station. But try driving down the road with your kids and hit a few buttons on the radio. Network TV is even worse.

"If no one wanted to watch such awful stuff, the ratings would drop and the stations would stop showing it. Pure capitalism, the bulwark of the GOP. Right?"

No it's called dumbing down. Pandering to the lowest common denominator.

And precisely why mothers get such grief for breast feeding in public places. It's assinine, especially when the Brits/Aussies etc. think nothing of it.

TK:

IMHO Rush the druggie and O’Riely, who admits no wrong, are the epitome of the dumbing down of America. But unlike some, I recognize that I should not try to impose my values on others. They did that in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.But we are freeing them to be able to make their own choices.

If you think a boob is a nasty thing, then shield your children from them, that's your issue. But no one should be able to dictate what I choose to watch.


BTW I see more of what you would call dumbed down programming on Fox than on any other channel. That's fine with me; I just change the channel if I don’t like what I see.

Hey what the heck the Yanomamo of the Amazon walk around with their Clamhammers dangling. It's completely natural and I am sure the NA's of this region did the same. So since it' s natural and cultural to the PNW lets go for it here.

"If you think a boob is a nasty thing, then shield your children from them, that's your issue. But no one should be able to dictate what I choose to watch. "

How is anyone dictating what you watch. you are free to watch what you want. As far a free media remember that the public owns the airwaves and leases them to private business with the understanding that they have an obligation to act in the publics best interest as defined by that public. The majority of people rule in this case not the minority.

I doubt that if the local store that your grandkids or maybe your wife, mom or grandmother frequent started displaying 1000 types of porn magazines in full view around every cash register you would support it.

As one who has been dumbed down by TV... huh..huh...huh... he said clamhammer!!!

Right along the lines of what I was going to say Aunty.

America has serious hang ups with the naked body and sexual issues.

Clamhammers?

EXACTLY! A breast is now the domain of the porn pushers, since the prim and proper condemn "breasts" as dirty and it sure as heck shouldn't be. It's a baby feeding appendage and should be acceptable.

Hey LT have you seen the women that choose to breast feed in public? Now you know why booze and sex are so closely tied. My god if i wanted to see mud flaps I would tail gate a dump truck

"It's a baby feeding appendage and should be acceptable."

Why does that make it more acceptable than what nudist feel about the rest of the body. Hey why whould someone have to find a rest room down town to take a dump when there is a perfectly good street gutter right there. Hey the chinese cannot be wrong and they are a majority. Oh! thats right breast feeding fits your def of whats acceptable and what others feel is acceptable is wrong. I keep forgeting about the double standard.

Sorry, but it is the most natural thing in the world, the healthiest thing for both baby and mom, and you're anal for trying to make it dirty when it isn't.

Nobody said you had to oogle and stare. You don't want to see it, DON'T LOOK. A woman should NOT have to hide in a nasty bathrrom someplace to feed her child.

A man should NOT have to hide in a nasty bathrrom someplace to take a leak or a dump. it's even more natural than breast feeding and unlike breast feeding you cannot live with out it and you have no choice but to go.

Aunty, since they voted for morals, values, and ethics there's a new line of Crusader Red Burkas being shipped to your local Wal-Mart as we speak.

Breastfeeding is NOT a bathroom function. Taking a pee or a dump IS A BATHROOM FUNCTION and what the room was created for.

A baby should never have to endure being fed in a bathroom and you are likely a very lousy father AND husband for suggesting so.

If you want government and businesses to build breast feeding rooms with comfy chairs and decor and relaxing music, feel free to get a measure on the ballot.

Otherwise, let the boobs hang out for the whole world to see.

"a new line of Crusader Red Burkas"

They are called Muu muu's here
