In the News
After a long weekend, I returned to work with A LOT to do, so today I just bring you a few news articles that I found to be notable for one reason or another.The first two are about stupid, prude, easily-offended Americans:
Fox Blurs Cartoon Rear End on FCC Worries
The latest example of TV network self-censorship because of FCC concerns came a few weeks ago during a rerun of a "Family Guy" cartoon. Fox electronically blurred a character's posterior, even though the image was seen five years ago when the episode originally aired.
Rear end? Posterior? Come on, just say ASS!! ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS!!!!!!
Athens chief fumes at US lewdness claims
Male nudity, a woman's breast and simulated sex were the subjects of shrill complaints about the opening ceremony on August 13 which were posted by the FCC on its Web site.
"Far from being indecent, the opening ceremonies were beautiful, enlightening, uplifting and enjoyable," Angelopoulos wrote in a weekend commentary in the Los Angeles Times titled "Since When is Greece's Culture Obscene?"
Amen Angelopoulos!
This final article is just absurd.
Jaywalkers Get the Wet Blanket
Under the new campaign, about 20 trucks patrol the city with wooden poles attached to damp blankets emblazoned with the warning: "No walking or standing in the streets". People who don't step back onto the kerb are in for a rude shock.
