All I can say is : BWAHAHA!

I mean really...is showing a mouth a "Recipient Organ for Oral Sex Purposes"?

Is showing a nose also "excretory"?

I could understand if they showed the anus, but come on!

Excretory?

[mmonk]

1. Then the people at the FCC need to put on ski masks or something.

Butt heads.

[tkmorris]

2. I've never understood the reason to hide them anyway

So something is excretory. Yeah, and? What's your point FCC? Let's be honest here; it has nothing to do with excretory or not, it's whether anyone finds it sexual. Hyper-Christians think sexual attraction is evil, therefore anything that arouses anyone else is immoral. All of which amuses the hell out of me because most of our so-called Christian leaders wouldn't grok morality if they had a one hour sit-down with Jesus Christ himself.

3. ...And our president holding hands with Saudi royals isn't Gay?!

:shrug:

4. But, but, but.....

It's just a butt!

[Echo In Light]

5. I like how this group, unaccountable to the public, gets to 'parent' the public's viewing

All forms and degrees of gratuitous violence is fine {with the MPAA also} yet their inner Puritan colors show once sexuality is involved. Seems a tad bass-akward, eh?

[Indi Guy]

6. Has anyone in the FCC seen "Dirty Jobs"???

The bovine actors here are the who's who of Dennis Franz wannabes. You can actually see the poo (excrement) emerging from the un-disguised cow anuses.

Hey FCC, please stop Discovery from showing "Dirty Jobs" during dinner hours (at least).

[MindPilot]

29. Were you being sarcastic?

If so cool, I get it.

If not, Dirty Jobs is a cable show, you have to pay to see it so it is--at least for now--not subject to FCC censorship. And if thine pixel arrangement offends thee, pulleth thine plug.

[MetaTrope]

7. If only they'd been around when PBS was broadcasting Monty Python's Flying Circus over 3 decades ago

It certainly would have saved me some childhood traumas.

8. "Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more, say no more. Winks as good as a nod to a blind man"

[NMMNG]

9. Burkas for everybody, that will solve the problem.

On second thought, let's just ban TVs in RW households. :shrug:

[Indi Guy]

10. Why strict religions are against premarital sex --

-- it could lead to dancing.

[NMMNG]

13. We certainly can't have that.

:P

[PCIntern]

16. One of the great jokes of all time...

:hi:

[thunder rising]

11. Oh George! Praise you!!! Save us from ourselves!! And give my job to foreigners and my money to

corps that sent it overseas. But especially, save me from having to view Gods greatest creation, the human body.

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

12. Perhaps we should

turn the other cheek!

And the following ad campaign features excretory organs, child porn, and maybe a bit of zoophilia:

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. OMG! She's gonna poop all over that dog!

Once revealed, the excretory organ must fulfill its dirty purpose! Puritans are certain of this and take positions of power to help save us!

Or am I giving a bad name to puritans?

[EvilAL]

14. Isn't the problem the crack?

I mean the buttocks alone don't really do much, no nipple or anything. It's the asscrack that completes the ass. Only the crack is technically nothing, so they can't say it's the crack that bothers them, but how 2 chunks of flesh come together.

Either way, what a bunch of fuckin idiots.

[MetaTrope]

15. LOL to the Amazon.com ad links that this thread is generating...

[Algorem]

17. that must be in the bible somewhere

like what bush uses to talk with-"the jawbones of an ass",amen and hallelujah.

[Vinca]

18. Actually, don't the buttocks hide the "excratory organ??" Too funny.

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

26. I know, if you're shitting out an ass cheek, you need to get to a doctor!

[SidDithers]

27. ROFL...

nicely done, sir :applause:

Sid

[originalpckelly]

28. Thanks.

I try too hard!

[terrya]

19. What a coincidence...that "Family Guy" rerun was on last night.

About the FCC going overboard with censorship and Peter starting his own cable company in response.

Talk about life sadly imitating art. This bullshit is ridiculous. This isn't the 19th century, for fuck's sake.

[mwb970]

20. The 19th century would be an improvement.

Republicans seem to favor the 15th century.

[EvilAL]

21. "His chin looks like balls,

should I cover that too?"

hahahahh

[MindPilot]

31. But you still always know exactly what was said even when it's bleeped

The X-files did a similar anti-censorship episode several years ago.

"That's a bleepin' dead alien alright! Bleep!"

[Cheap_Trick]

23. FOXSNOOZE shouldbe fined on those grounds then

the only thing coming out of the mouths of the idiots there is bullshit.

[originalpckelly]

24. I say we all start a campaign to moon our "excretory organs" at the FCC.

Private areas are the least of our concern. Most people are gonna end up seeing them one day anyway. There's a good chance that most people have one or more of them, themselves.

[Aviation Pro]

25. Could we censor....

....Mr. Insane President's Larry-the-Cable-Guy, STFU, SOTU speech since his whole body is an excretory organ. Nothing but bullshit flows out of it.

[Elspeth]

30. Looks like FCC head Kevin Martin sees everything as a sexual organ

:rofl:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. Buttocks are an "organ"? Somebody should brush up on Biology 101.

[mentalsolstice]

33. "Excretory Organ", will FCC ban the SOTU?

Cuz excrement will be what's coming out of *'s mouth.

34. The Fellas at the FCC

http://www.devilducky.com/media/37922/ (Takes a few mins to load....but it really does explain the FCC...Thank you "Family Guy!")

[PCIntern]

36. Terrific...

was that on TV or in the Theater?

someone once referred to FOX as a perpetual motion machine for the masses of RWers: the entertainment shows themselves undermine the 'morality' in the country (think Simpsons, Family Guy, Malcolm, etc.), and the 'News' division rails against that interminably.

both sides make the Network lots of dough...

[Behind the Aegis]

41. It was on TV.

FOX TV programs SLAM the government! Watch "Bones" and other shows....they rock and put the gov't in the place it so richly deserves.

[porphyrian]

35. Skin is an excretory organ. What are they going to do about that? -n/t

[Fresh_Start]

37. doesn't all skin excrete?

burkahs for everyone

[nonconformist]

38. Fuck You FCC - for your listening pleasure....

39. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

It's only in our body parts that we're egalitarian ... democratic. We all have something to 'trade' - an equal footing (so to speak) on the playing field. Children understnad this. Kathy and I understood this in first grade as we took our bag lunches and ate together at the edge of the playgorund ... in the bushes. We understood sharing. We understood bargaining. We understood learning ... the "win-win." We learned anatomy. In first grade!

Ahh... the wonder and majesty of learning about compromise, bargaining, the "win-win" of a contract, cooperation. Without our butts and groins we'd be without the currency of knowledge.

:dunce:

[PCIntern]

40. Don't you know...

It's all just so...so DIRTY!!! Dirty bits, dirty tush, dirty thoughts, dirty everything...

:sarcasm: (added for those who are ready to shoot on sight around here these days)

It all goes way way back to the word 'sinister' from Latin meaning 'left' which was the hand used to...well nevermind... (as Simon and Garfunkel wrote)

...and before that I'm certain...


It is the greatest dichotomy in the world...

[SoCalDem]

42. so are mouths... people sometimes puke

:)

[Systematic Chaos]

43. They also have to blow their noses all the time

and, while much more frequently when ill with a cold but it can happen any time, we also occasionally cough up some excess chest mucus.

Clearly, we all need to wear nice thick plastic bags over our heads to stop this horrible excretion!

:freak:

[Jamastiene]

44. The FCC makes the Puritans look like party animals. n/t
