You Can't Do That on Television!

So...ya can't say "nuts" on TV. It's reminding me of that old Nickelodeon show, "You Can't Do That on Television." If you did something you shouldn't on that show, you got slimed. It seems like Wolf Blitzer, Joe Scarborough and others thought they might get slimed if they repeated the words of the REVEREND Jesse Jackson verbatim. If you are out of the loop, this in reference to the comments Jackson made regarding Obama's anatomy (nuts!) when he thought the mic was off. This clip is simple but genius. Well it made me laugh out loud if nothing else:
I Never did understand why everyone got so upset about that. it was the first (and only) time in history that broadcast television in the US lived up to the name "boob tube". I consider it a triumph of truth in advertising.

Imagine how much more fun the Sunday morning talk shows might be if there was a chance they might get water or green slime dumped on them.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it takes the bandwidth of ten thousand.
Think what it would be like with the Fairness Doctrine in place.
What would the equivalent statement about Hillary be?
What's really hilarious is when they bleep the word out of the audio track, but they leave in the "n" and the "ts." It comes out "n-ts."
Does anybody think he said "gnats"? "Nets"? "Nots"? Maybe he's accusing Obama of having lice. He wanted to "cut off his nits."
After all, it's the only way to get rid of those nasty lice.

CBS got fined for the Superbowl mishap. Now everyone's afraid of making people uncomfortable. -.-
