Last night 10pm EST USA time I was watching the NBC TV Network show ''Law And Order'', and one of the actors came right out and called some thug a PRICK. What with the FCC, I thought that word was not allowed on Network TV. Geez I remember when the FCC got themselves in an uproar and fined ABC for showing a 1 hour highlight show from Live 8, the day of Live 8, and they forgot to blip The Who singing the F word in ''Who Are You'' (which by the way I thought was STUPID, it's only a song and was not directed at anyone) and the FCC fined ABC and demanded an apology. So how did ''Law And Order'' let the P word slip? |

They've said it for years on NYPD Blue. |

Don't worry Arlene - it's just a little prick... |

I know about NYPD Blue including Dennis Franz dropping trowel. But..in the last year, after the Janet Jackson ''wardrobe malfunction'', the FCC clamped down again, as you see by what they did with fining ABC for not bleeping The Who during their Live 8 performance, and the FCC has gotten very Draconian and strict this past year imposing fines on everyone, including Howard Stern (who they had left alone all these years, causing him to RESIGN from his contract and sign with the NON FCC regulated Sirius Satellite Radio). So ''Law and Order'' must have gotten lucky with that slip. |
iGSM 26.09.2005 11:21 |
Hmm, must be quite Naziriffic on words like that over in the US. |

I can't believe how much censorship there is on american TV. I remember when I was in Vegas a couple of years ago, we got back to our hotel at about midnight one night, my wife crashed out and Decided to watch some TV. One of the main channels was showing Carrie and The Terminator that night, so I settled in to watch them. Not only were the films interrupted every five minutes by adverts (another thing that pisses me off) but virtually all the swearing and nudity had been cut out of both films, and this was in the early hours of the morning. What a joke! |

Is it really true what they said in Be Cool? That you can't say "fuck" more than once in a movie unless you want it to get an R rating in USA? :/ |

What really cracks me up is that when a tit comes out- huge scandal. But people killing other people, naaah... Same with TV or Games- just like the latest scandal with sex scenes in GTA... I mean- it's OK that the game is about killing as many ppl, driving through old ladies on streets, robbing etc, but a NUDE SCENE???!!! OMG! It's OK when kids play computer games, killing zombies or nazis or whatever but for God's sake- thay are definitely not allowed to see a tit!!!! This world is completely fucked up... Human body is something to be REALLY ashamed of, but blood and sufferring... no one gives a shit about... Oh man, I said s*** word... Ooops... Oh,a nd F** word as well.... Oh what a bad person am I... |

I'll be fucking fucked. I love seeing Australian films. We don't really care about much.. quality for a start! Ha! I burned you OFLC! However.. I must ask...do censors censor out 'God damn'? I did find it funny when Denis Leary said on Late Night with Conan O'Brien... 'Can I say *beep*' 'No...no you can't. I wish you had talked to me about that before' That's what I love about 'V Graham Norton' or 'So Graham Norton'. Dustin Hofmann saying 'fuckers' and 'cunt'. Love! |

What's wroong w itha TIT anyway? And what's wrong with a "shit" word? Is this a remedy for all evil in this world? PS I just remebered something. I watched a bit of System of a Down concert on tele (Astoria this year) and they beeped all the bad stuff... So now imagine asong which goes {"Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy" repeate over and over again in maniacal manner (on purpose, it's a really good tracks) with beeps every 5 seconds ("cocaine")!!! That was the most pathetic example possible! They destroyed half of their sat this way... |

Oh what a bad person am I...I totally agree and it's always been that way with the FCC, the film ratings board, etc. Sex and the human body, which are natural and fine...are censored...but it's perfectly fine to show as much and as henious violence as you want unedited, uncensored. OK.... Talk about hypocrasy and getting their priorities ass backwards. Oops... I said ASS. Call the FCC! |

I didn't realize that "crap" was concidered a bad word in the UK for a long time. Good thing I found out what a fanny is over there before I went around talking about fanny packs or whatever. About censorship though, what I find more surprising than cuss words getting edited is that you can be watching a show like "Trauma- Life in the ER" and some dude's guts are hanging out....he's gushing blood...some brain is on the floor, but yet they blur out his butt crack. Everybody's got an ass.. Wuz up wit dat? |

It's complete madness. Beeping SOAD is bullshit. But the same goes for all other bands. Don't distroy art (don't start the discussion whether R&B, hip-hop etc. is art now)! I really hate beeps in songs. Something I also don't understand: butt-cracks. I mean, what the fuck is wrong with that. Agreed, it's not a pleasure to watch a fat guy bend over and see his crack above his pants, but still: what the fuck is wrong with that. The same goes for flipping your finger. Everybody knows what this person is doing, but it's "covered" by some digital distortion or whatever. Normally I wouldn't have noticed this finger, but as soon as it's distorted it draws my attention. The more you do it, the more you notice. |

I watched a dude called Lewis Black's special on Comedy Central. He mentioned pricks. I'd also like to know why they would not show Ben Stiller's bare ass when I saw "Along Came Polly" on Network TV and yet I came across some Western on AMC and this dude stands up out of a bathtub and BAM! Big jiggly ass. What, is a scrawny Western ass somehow better than Ben Stiller's ass? I don't see the difference. |

But is 'prick' really that bad a word, or are people just being fussy? Because I used that word just today when talking to someone, and I want to know if it's incredibly vulgar. And I suggest you read John Wilmot's poetry if you like 'fuckers' and 'cunt'. ;) EDIT: Damn. I just realized this thread is two- and- a- half years old. |
