(Ooh, that was a good alliteration.)<br /><br />First of all PBS needs to rejoin the community of vertebrates, and tell the censors "bite me" once in a while. I find it more obscene that a program like Frontline is being forced to sanitize the language of war than I find the words themselves. So it's support the troops, but don't listen to them? And, really; how many families gather their little children around the idiot-box at 9:00 on a school night for a fun fill family night of Frontline?! Please. Even if the dialogue was only filled with hecks and darns, I'm not sure I'd want my little kids immersed in a war documentary anyway.<br /><br />We're going to FCC ourselves into the land of disinformed, pantywaists. <br /><br />Every time a broadcaster caves in to censors, I envision a cable TV exec breaking into an evil laugh and rubbing his hands together. "Soon it will be mine! All MINE!" And there I am, the last over-the-air holdout left with nothing but TV preachers and "Just Say No" PSAs.<br /><br />Bite me.-epmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290108507107672811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422556.post-1108869453381477142005-02-19T22:17:00.000-05:002005-02-19T22:17:00.000-05:00Just thougt that I would let you know I was hereJust thougt that I would let you know I was hereStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804479361500522149noreply@blogger.com
