Isn't it time that the US loosened it's morality laws regarding television? Just once I would like to watch programs that might be considered for adults-Not sexual. . .but occasional adult language on network channels during prime time. What is wrong with this country anyway? Other countries air such material.

Anyone else feel this way? And to those who would such things offensive. . .use the remote control and either switch to Disney or turn it off. Let's get with the 21st Century.

I'm with you on this one. If a show doesn't have heads randomly exploding, an f-bomb dropped every five seconds and penises flying all over the place, it ain't worth watching.

At least stop censoring anime, and allowing various swear words fly through the air like bullets with wings integrated to them from a hummingbird, and then fired from a rail gun.

Exactly my point. Shows like "Galaxy Angel" when the computer Normad swears at the characters is comic relief. It's part of the story.

Well, I meant swearing in ALL good shows, not just anime.

I meant that to. A few years ago on the series "Chicago Hope", Mark Harmon's character, while the doctors were in a staff meeting said quote "s**t happens". The network left it up to each affiliate whether to bleep it or not. The FCC had a field day fining stations that left it as is.

Just loosen the restrictions already. Not all network would follow suit I imagine. But these are words heard nearly everyday. . .so lighten up people of the FCC.

Kefka LOL.

That just reminded me of a song I downloaded off Pythonline.com. It's Eric Idle's "FCC Song", or "F%^& you very much".
