    Irritating TV.

    So, I'm watching Brian's Song on CMT. There is a part where they are running sprints and Brian informs Gayle that his wife was pregnant and that he was going to name the baby after Gayle. "Spade" Piccolo.

    Racist? Sure.

    Meant as a joke to a black man. Not intended to insult anyone.

    But, what upsets me is that Brian'S Song is a made for TV movie!!!

    It's just sad.

    ACK!

    What?

    Later in the movie, he calls him n***** and they don't edit that.

    They could at least be consistent.

    It's a true story. Do you think it should really be PC'd down? The story is about two very real people and their relationship.

    You miss the point, it was PC'd down. In one case but not in the other.

    Irritating TV are all the reality shows that humiliate people for entertainment.
    It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

    I believe what he is saying is the things being bleeped out of movies now days makes no sense and is irritating. They bleep out swear words in movies that are used in sitcoms all the time. Why bother with the movie if the actor in the sitcom is using swear words.

    My favorite is the opening of die hard III when bruce is naked and wearing the sandwich board. In the network broadcast it was changed to "I HATE EVERYBODY". What a joke, it changes the scene completely.
    The OT at APOLYTON is like watching the Special Olympics. Certain people try so hard to debate despite their handicaps.

    I think that kind of stuff is funny. Especially when done intentionally bad. Like when they dub over swear words instead of just bleeping them out.

    I watched All About the Benjamins last week.

    Mother Trucker was used a lot.
