Martin: More work needed on indecency

LAS VEGAS -- FCC chairman Kevin Martin told broadcasters Tuesday that an industrywide effort to get parents to control their children's viewing isn't going to satisfy the commission's efforts on indecency. A day earlier at the National Assn. of Broadcasters' annual convention here, NAB president David Fehr and former MPAA chief Jack Valenti strongly backed a $300 million campaign that informs parents about the V-chip and other blocking technology, including program ratings, that exists on their TVs. "I'm not sure that's the complete answer," said Martin, who spoke at a breakfast session at the Las Vegas Hilton. He said that FCC research found that as much as 40% of the nation's TV sets don't have V-chips or other blocking technology.

yes, the bush regime so wise, so all knowing, they know what's best for america's young minds. that's the spirit! eliminate responsibility from parents and let the government make decisions about what children watch on television. the repercussion on adult viewing privileges would be great fall out for us. fox news only. subliminal messages in those how to hunt and shoot doe, duck and bucks. hopefully we'll get a nice juicy increase in christian programming, too.

hey, SCHMUCK, if 40% of americans don't have the v-chip in their television sets has it occurred to your small, idiot saturated brain that they are informed enough to know it's NOT FOR THEM?!

I hear you, Katie. The FCC has conveniently decided to forget that parents have the information (ratings) and tools to block any content they don't want their children to see.

This federal agency's desire to play parent sets a bad enough precedent, but what is really outrageous is that the Parents Television Council (PTC)accounts for about 90-95% of all FCC indecency complaints. How can a group that claims 1 million members possibly speak for all Americans in 110 million TV households? Not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. Check out TV Watch at www.televisionwatch.org. It was founded to give TV watchers like you and me a voice to let the government know that we will maintain the right the choose what TV shows to watch.

SPEAKING OF ABORTIONS

Menses just commenced. It's 1:14 AM. I was asleep. That felt good. At 12:24, I popped up. I think I'm awake, maybe awakeish is more accurate. I'm always surprised when those handy-soapy-foamy-bottles run out of soap. For some lame ass reason, it never occurs to me that they ever will. They feel so lifetime supply , even though the bottles aren't more than 8 inches tall. Similarly, when I flip on a light switch and the light flickers to its death, I think "Now what?" Duh, schmuckette, you change the fucking light bulb . Intellectually, I know this, yet for some odd reason, it never comes to mind. In fact, a few years ago, my mother walked into my house and said, "Why aren't the lights working?" I said "I don't know, I flick the switch and they don't work." After a fit of uproarious laughter, she said, "Would it kill you to change the light bulb?” Hmmm. "No", I shamefully responded. I wonder why... it is that I hav...

Best Spam Evaaaaaaaaaaah -UPDATE-

Look what I found in my box today?! Aside from the fact that I'm a VADGE and there is a glaring typo " fie" instead of " fine" , they've made this dame a raging cunt- hate that (and her high, tight rack. Bitch ). Women don't behave this way. Women aren't cunty. Women don't emasculate men. That is not how we roll, yo. UPDATE : From the fabulous and flawless MonkeyMucker : Actually hon that's not a typo. the word "fie" is a somewhat rare wordthat is used to denote scorn or used in place of a swear or curse word.It was more popular in the old days, like say during the 16th thru 19th centuries . Who knew?! I had no idea. Simianboy, you're a wealth of knowledge. Grazie. Penis enlargement patches also do not work. If you want to keep your junk intact, don't be stickin' things in it, or on it that can damage the meat bat. Don't let anyone make you feel badly about your manhood, either. It's your dick, live it. Love it....

Get Listen Up

Have you seen the infomercial for Get Listen Up ? I thought the idea of a product that turns "Ordinary hearing into Extroidinary hearing" was too camp for words. In the mersh, a hospitable narrator takes you through all kinds of folks using it in church, hunting, watching television, listening to your spawn on the playground, all doable, right? Right. I was sold, too. Until.... my friendly narrator lady said "Listen to what your neighbors are saying about you." Okay, creeparella, how very big brother. Watch the mersh . Doreen sent me a kick ass, smart ass article this week in the NY Times called, " Skin Deep - Hey, Mom, the Rabbi Approved my Tattoo ". Speaking of Diva Doreen, I finished her flawless, brilliant book Queen of the Road (it's tits to the tenth, children) and she's graciously allowed me to interview her. I'll be posting that this week and you will love every word. Frannylish sent me, in her words an "oy gevalt" article ...
