I fail to see how that makes my point any less valid.

The thing with profanity and nudity on network television is that you have to have faith in the ones responsible for creating the content to not go overboard. They've written television for years without profanity and nudity, and they could continue to do so, but the occasional profanity or nudity that would be used for something more than shock factor; I don't see an issue with. Your precious little snowflakes know more and have seen more than parents realize. Have a little faith in the creative teams responsible for network television and cut them some damn slack. They could even revise the ratings system to include different levels of profanity involved in the episode. If it's live then it's live. Anything should go. If someone goes overboard or goes on a tirade they simply get their mic cut off. The FCC needs to go.

I was just trying to clarify for purposes of visualization.

Since it's all digital now anyway, isn't this out of the FCCs overbearing oversight. Cable networks can show whatever they like, but they are only guided by advertiser prudence. Or did the FCC somehow become the regulator of all forms of information transfer?

He's gotta be on some estrogen analogue to develop moobs like that.

And where is Frank Zappa when you need him?

Dweezil, Ahmet, and Moon Unit could combine into a Zappa Voltron and still not do the job of Frank!

Don't forget John Denver.


Isn't it strange that of those three only Snyder is still alive ?

theorellior: People are surprised steve Tyler looks like that? He's been hammering the shiat out of his body since he was 15, of course he looks like that. I'm surprised he doesn't look worse isn't dead.

/better

He is way prettier in person. From behind, the dude looks like a lady.

Funny how the right wingers who want our television sanatized can't just trust that free market thing they are always going on about to deal with it.

"I have (cursed on air) a couple times, because it is 2012," Tyler said. He then added: "Ow, ya-ka-ka-KA-KOW!"

Haha nice

You know, I can handle a little profanity or nudity on television. But who the hell decided it was ok to show people barfing?

Nobody wants to see that.

how to do a line of blow off Justice Ginsburg's ass?

How about her front?

Subby lies.

Stephen Tyler didn't make any first amendment arguments, and he certainly didn't "school" the SCOTUS.

So, he likes government censorship. WTF is this guys problem?

Shouldn't the headline be more about Mr. Tyler clearly knowing nothing at all about the First Amendment?

Frank can't be replaced. The world is poorer from his passing.

Well Mrs. Tyler's teeth are certainly looking fake today.

He was apparently good personal friends with Vaclav Havel. I had no idea until I heard then when Havel passed away recently...

I'm sure Steven Tyler has farked a few underaged groupies back in the day.

Farking hypocrite.

The Obama administration has objected that the appeals court stripped the FCC of its ability to police the airwaves, and the commission is appealing the ruling.

So, um, good? The purpose of the FCC is to keep people from screwing up each others broadcast signals by assigning them each a distinct frequency ban, the use of their power for content regulation is the most flagrant abuse of unintended authority since they decided they could use the commerce clause to control things that are explicitly not interstate or commerce.

A decade or so ago you could have said the same thing about reality television. That worked out so well.

Right now, it seems networks need the FCC regulations to go away. Nearly every year at awards season, the networks have gotten their clock cleaned by HBO, Showtime, AMC, and FX. The best writers and filmmakers are now going to one of these places, even if it means fewer episodes and lower budgets, because they have more freedom to make their shows the way they feel they need to be made. That in turn attracts better talent.

Case in point: Pan Am. Had potential to be a decent show, but instead, ABC turned it into a watered-down Mad Men/Gray's Anatomy hybrid.

With a few episodes of House notwithstanding, the big three networks haven't cranked out a really great show since West Wing went off the air.

Thank god for Syfy, huh?

Tyler is trying to be reasonable about public profanity,

no one wants to hear you talk on your phone or rap or yell or curse

not cute or clever

private or purchased idiocy is widely available to all,

We can have cut open cadavers on CSI every week , have blood in every prime time drama, but if you show a nipple, the country will riot. Why are insides better than outsides?

Watch basic cable shows, they all use "shiat" now. Sunny in Philly, South Park etc. I barely even notice it, because they don't put a big ol' BLEEEEEPPPPPPP every time they say it. It flows in the conversation. Even Goodfellas. You watch that movie, you get into the story, you don't even hear the farks and shiats after a while. Now watch it on ABC. They silence every curse to the point it's unwatchable and you notice each and every time they say it.

Just back the fark off and let the people decide. There's a reason every box/tv/video game unit has a parental password built in. Don't like it, use it.

Not a big sci-fi fan. Plus, isn't that channel all wrestling and reality shows now?

Profanity doesn't bother me. I'm a fairly prolific user of it myself. That being said:

Saying "f*ck" 657 times an hour doesn't make a show better, or edgy. Just repetitive and annoying. It's like those stand-up comics who can't tell a coherent joke so they just stand up there and say all of the permutations of the seven dirtys for a half hour. Profanity is not an effective turd polish.

Of course I won't notice if they do start cussing like a Tourette's patient on crack. They could blow a goat on TV & I'd never know unless someone posted about it on Fark. I pretty much gave up on broadcast TV when they began saturating the air with reality shows, infomercials & dull "talent" contests. I am a big movie fan, though.

I'd rather the FCC worry about lies in "news" media than the occasional slip of the tongue.
