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.
Fuck the fucking fuckers!
Kids should never be exposed to the symbols $#*!. They should have &^@%ed those symbols out.
Exactly. That is why I still strangle kittens.
Quite a surprising number have even declared it to be Holy!

Since apparently they think $#*! is a word in the language, I guess there are an infinite number of alternatives: $, $%, $$%, $#%, ... I just it just depends on how many of them would be offensive ;-)
(Filter error: please use fewer 'junk' characters. I guess slashdot does find them offensive.)

CBS President: So let me get this straight - you're condemning the show for having "$#*!" in the title?
Head of PTC: Absolutely. It's clearly indecent!
CBS: And you've sent press releases to every news organization and major blog across the country affirming that this is your position?
PTC. That's right. And what are you going to do about it?
CBS: (stifles a giggle) What am I going to do? Cartwheels all the way back to the office!

rumor has CBS will show $#*! as a Bear Icon stuffed in a U-Haul logo across the show-title when marketing the show in order to comply.
Hmm, is that a perl one-liner? ;)
Just call the show "2 Girls 1 Cup". No one could say that name is indecent.

The rest of it might be a trainwreck, but it's off to a great start.
It stars Shatner and it might be a trainwreck?

$#*! ain't my god, and I feel very sorry for you if $#*! is your God. (The Bible Defines Swearing as Taking the Name of the Lord your God in Vain.)
SJW: a person who perceives an injustice, and while correcting it, commits a greater injustice.
I feel very sorry for anyone who lets the Bible define things for them. What does the Bible say about incorrect use of capital letters?
Did they even google "tea bagging" before they started that?
Oh not googling is not the bad part.
The bad part, is they did google it.

Sex=shame is one of the most fucked up things invented in order to control women and take their power away.
I think it has more to do with the higher responsibility women have with sex. Men can't get pregnant.
A sexually empowered woman is a power to behold and scares many men shitless.
A very fat woman as well. And more so in fact.
It stars Shatner and it might be a trainwreck?
You mean it stars $#4!ner.
In Britain "$#4!" is a colloquial past tense of "to $#*!" as in "he $#4! his pants".

I feel bad for you. My grandfather was fucking awesome and would occasionally even use fancy curse words like 'shitass' and 'fuckered' around us grandkids.

This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Tolkien referenced the 'two towers' long before 9/11, so he clearly knew about the plot. Any fool can plainly see that he was behind the whole thing.
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!

What the fucking kind of Slashdot post is this.
You blew it. He purposely left out Muhammad so that he wouldn't be executed. It's much easier to be spiteful anonymously, but now you've condemned all Anonymous Cowards to death!
Damn you, Anonymous Coward!
Damn you all to hell!!!
For all you idiots going for the "funny" tag here, this is NOT a joke. This coven of fundamentalist idiots has a HUGE amount of clout with the FTC. More than they deserve. So while you all sit here making jokes and trying to get tagged "Funny", or invoking the frankly idiotic "Flying Spaghetti Monster" trying to be smarter than the lowly, deluded Xtians, THESE people are influencing policy and dictating what you see and hear.
Real fucking funny. Why not try opposing them for once?
