Ummm, Fox allows the F word now?

[FragTek]

I was just watching the Billboard awards, and Paris Hilton and her bimbo friend just actually said the "S" word and the "F" word on Fox.... WTF??? That's a major network TV violation, and i bet a bunch of parents are freaking out now... LOL.

Anyone have any insight on this? I was shocked, my jaw literally hit the floor to see that happen on a network station. WOW!

comedy central did once at like midnight they played south park movie uncut for about a week.

I dunno about the South Park movie, but as for fox: that's what happens when you go live. Same with the radio.

Although, SERIOUSLY, there is some major societal degradation going on... using the f-bomb in PG-13 movies, for example!!

[FragTek]

That's crazy though, i thought that they HAD to censor that **** before midnight... because Live isnt really "Live" it has a few second delay to allow for those kinds of things, so they can censor accordingly and what not.

So back to my question, what the hell was Fox thinking????

The same thing they're thinking most of the time:

Remember the 'night of 1000 s****' episode.. oh man that was good.

Frag- I think that they actually are allowed to say 'the s word', watch that episode of South Park, thats what its all about.

You poor people...so sheltered on the TV...we don't have anything like that here.

Cyndi Lauper was on one of chat shows last week and was shocked that she could say but as the presenter said to her you can say anything you want and to prove the point then said several times her face was a picture...admittedly we only allow this sort of stuff after 10pm but even so.
A couple of years ago we had a sorta USA v UK based debate show and it was hilarious watching the americans struggle to say a politically correct term and then their counterparts say "ah that etc". The americans didn't know where to go, they visibly sank into their chairs..but after it was explained that it was ok they soon got into the swing of things but still sounded like they were little children who realised that they could say "The Bloody Tower" and it was allowed

*edited as I have to behave a bit more now

Way to stick it to the FCC, Fox. Their continuing regulation of morality standards is bs.

[FragTek]

Yeah, I've seen that

But they may be allowed to get away with the "S" word once in awhile on a network station before the "night hours" where they are basically allowed to do anything, as Comedy Central has demonstrated over and over again

But the "F" word and Fox don't seem to mix, especially at 9 o'clock (or whatever earlier time it is for you folks)... Crazy!!!!

And that my friend, is why British television cant compare to American.

Thats so awesome, I'd have loved to see that!

[FragTek]

Ok, I shouldn't have mentioned the S word... Because we all know that in American TV standards the F word before 10 on any channel other than Comedy Central is almost unheard of....
