Fuck the FCC

While reading of a recent case before the Supreme Court involving FCC regulations on the use of expletives, it occurs to me how idiotic it is to try to censor live television. First of all, kids hear swearwords from adults and other kids in real life. Do we really think that they'll develop potty-mouths while watching the Grammy's? Cursing is best used as a spice, not a main ingredient... that is, unless you're specifically trying to make the dish as fucking spicy as you can. People should curtail their use of harsh language and people on television should do the same. But to fine the network for broadcasting a bad word uttered by someone else is ridiculous. Otherwise, we'll have to put every single live broadcast on a delay and that is just dumb. Christ, let people say what they want and if they want to come across as dickweeds because they can't not talk shit, then it's their God damn right.

And while I'm at it, it kills me that they bleep "God" but not "damn" on television. Heaven forfend if you should take thy Lord's name in vain. Ugh.

In other news, Obama won. Yeah!
So did Prop 8 in Calfornia. *%&@$&#^!
