I just watched the Daily Show, and I saw something very refreshing.
They used the word bullshit UNCENSORED at least 20 times, I shit you
not. Granted, Jon Stewart said that it will be bleeped out of most of
the replays throughout the day, but it was not bleeped out of the 10PM
show. In all my years of tv watching, I have never heard that word
uncensored on network tv or basic cable. For the past year or so, I
have thought that we have been getting too conservative, but for once
things swing the other way. We are still getting to conservative, but
at least this is a something that is liberal. Who knows, Comedy Central
might pay for this, but there aren’t many conservatives that watch the
Daily Show and therefore might not be many complaints. Then again,
knowing the Christian right, they probably watch just so they can find
stuff to complain about. It would be stupid to file a complaint with
the FCC about this, no kid young enough for it to have an effect on
would or should watch the Daily Show, on the other hand, any teens that
might watch it already know what that word is and they probably use it
themselves. Anywho, I’m just saying, it was great to hear the word
bullshit uncensored.

It all happened in the 2004 Super Bowl, when we accidentally saw, for like 1/10th of a second, Janet Jackson’s breast. So many six-year-olds died needlessly in that horrible accident that our nation was righteously outraged, and now we must be extremely careful about everything we say and do, lest another young child be killed by a careless word.
