  • For ####s sake, does TV have no shame?

    We have all come to accept commercials for tampons, herpes drugs, girls gone wild commercials slowly went from 3 AM to the middle of the day on many channels...... the same channels children watch.

    I believe I just saw the begining of a new era of advertising. I was watching Comedy Central and saw an advertisment for a vibrator, this may well be a first in the history of telivision! I felt like I watched the moon landing.

        Thank God you're back, Vesayen. The OT hasn't been the same without you.
        Also, what does Vesayen mean?
        "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

            I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

              WRT the OP title, no. TV does not have any shame. The FCC is supposed to be on top of things, but they're backlogged with Janet Jackson nipple sighting reports.

              On the plus side, I don't think many parents let their little kids watch Comedy Central. At least, I wouldn't.

                Not if you want them to see good television, anyways.

                  Lots and lots of MadTV reruns. And not from early in the series, when they very occasionally aired something funny. No, Comedy Central gives you solid four-hour blocks of late MadTV, chock-full of those annoying, pointless scenes with the actors' pet characters doing the same stupid gags in slightly different situations.
