Decency Group Says "$#*!" Is Indecent

The Parents Television Council says the "$#*!" in the title of the upcoming CBS show $#*! my dad says is indecent. From the article: "'CBS intentionally chose to insert an expletive into the actual name of a show, and, despite its claim that the word will be bleeped, it is just CBS's latest demonstration of its contempt for families and the public,' declared PTC President Tim Winter. 'There are an infinite number of alternatives that CBS could have chosen, but its desire to shock and offend is crystal clear in this decision.'" By this logic Qbert was the filthiest game ever made.

Though most people have taken this negatively, I believe they are taking this out of context. All children do need to understand that the world is not going to protect them, and some will do negative things to get a thrill. Guys will try to seduce girls and then sell them to their friends. Older guys will try to get younger guys to fight, then sell tickets. Having a moral compass so that one can judge if fighting or having sex for money is appropriate is an important thing.

As far as CBS is concerned, making money from shock is the status quo. Why else would Fox promote clearly mentally ill Glen Beck so we can laugh at him like a carnival attraction. I think we can trace that back all the way to Lucy being married to the Cuban.

Of course, if you like a program and only watch downloading, then one can't really expect the programming to stay, unless we do eventually live in a socialist country in which the government steals money from us to produce the shows the liberal elite wants.
