Yeah, it's a trick nine out of 10 political letter writers pull, too. Campaigns send out form letters and e-mails to all the yahoos in the party, who then fill in the blanks and send them in to the newspapers and other media outlets.

And Elok, why do you persist in being such an annoying little cretin?

Discuss the posts, not the posters, you crumpet-munching Anglo douchebag.

American Family Asssociation seems way worse than these guys. They are already readying it's 3 million members to flood the FCC when CBS airs it's 9/11 documentary on 9/10/2006. Because CBS will be airing it unedited.

Why not, I'll actually comment on the subject of the thread itself:

We should not feel outraged for the censored content. At least, not primarily for the censored content. Our pity and sorrow should be reserved for the children. Yes, the children of these Associations and Concerned Parent Groups' members. While said parents are spending insane amounts of time picketing, writing letters and screeching in order to teach the rest of the world about how to raise children, they are doing absolutely no parenting themselves. Their kids probably start experimenting with MDMA about midway through Mommy's eight hundredth outraged e-mail to the makers of Sesame Street re: the blatant homosexual connotations of Bert and Ernie.

These children will grow up to raise dysfunctional and broken families, which will appear (complete with blurred nipples and bleeped swears) on the reality TV shows of tomorrow. Thereby provoking a new generation of terrified censors, perpetuating the vicious cycle.

Think of the children.

Now, which episode of South Park was that where a certain mother led a campaign against T&P arse humor?

Nothing like a small group of uptight folks trying to dictate to the vast majority...!

PTC President L. Brent Bozell says, "It is utterly irresponsible and atrocious for NBC to air this vulgar language...when millions of children were in the viewing audience."

Frankly, I'm not sure you could find millions of kids who were in the viewing audience. That implies that kids actually watched the Emmys. I think a more apt description mighy be the "asleep on the floor" audience, or maybe the "playing Halo on the other TV" audience.

[Japher]

Halo? You mean Grand Theft Auto.

Awards ceremonies should be banned.

There's something strangely ironic about censoring "reality TV".

Anyway, American should take a collective joint and untie its knickers.
