Pathetic

Holy shit! It's happening already! No sooner have Americans voted in the wrong guy but he's biting their ass! I just found out that 20 affiliates of the ABC TV network cancelled a Thursday screening of the movie "Saving Private Ryan", the reason: fear that the FCC would fine them for, wait for it...INDECENCY!

I've seen the film a few times, as far as I can recall, not a single pubic hair, not the merest hint of a nipple, not even the smallest bum-crack, was visible throughout the entire movie! Indecency? I don't think so! No, what they really mean is that they don't want the American public seeing what soldiers really do in battle, God forbid! Children may be watching! The FCC obviously think American adults are too dumb to censor what their kids see - they need to do it for them.

Actually, I think the movie should be shown with the strong prior recommendation that American parents view it with their children. If you really believe that kids are influenced by what they see on TV, what better thing to do? We need to impress upon them that war is bad, bad, bad and a sign of a nation's failure to solve problems peacefully.

Worst of all, is that the real American forces are doing the kind of things portrayed in the film (and worse) every day in Iraq - this whole farce is an example of idiotic hypocritical behaviour, no doubt backed by Bush and his flock of brainless sheep. H'mm...I may be doing Georgie a disservice here; he doesn't have the wit for it; my guess is that some evangelical puppeteers with just a smidgin more brain, may be pulling his strings.
