katy perry's appearance on Sesame Street (singing a song with Elmo) will be scrapped after worried parents sent in letters complaining about her cleavage.



Jesus christ. Don't these people have anything better to do? Maybe they should move to Utah instead of writing BS letters to TV stations.

One: That's just stupid.

Two: When did Sesame street become a cartoon background? That shit used to be in the ghetto yo.

Ah...Fort Boyard.

lol the guy's face... trying hard not to splooge in his pants

I think that describes most people all the time, regardless of their education. Humanity breeds laziness. Before, if you were lazy, you would starve to death. Now... not so much. there's no real fix unless we start colonizing Mars or something. Ship off the dead beats and if they don't start working, they die. Everyone's happy.

lol @ sesame street. Our country is driven by special interest groups. don't think that the people calling in to complain are the average American. Chances are, they were all members of some Christian fundamentalist group that organizes its memebers to call into the FCC to complain about anything they consider to be morally repugnant... like sex and science.

"Parents Television Council - Because Our Children Are Watching"

I shit you not. I get sick of all the 'save the children' rhetoric. It makes me want to go all columbine and shit.

mmmm @ tube boobs

Oh I don't think it's the average American, it's just sad that there are retards who have their heads stuck so far up their ass/Bible that they feel the need to impose their worldview on others (in this case how they feel about cleavage on a kids' show). I don't really get why networks bend over for this stuff though - like you said it's not gonna be the majority of their viewers, not by a long shot, who complain about this. But once stuff like this goes public with the "WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN" it seems hysteria strikes and they feel like they have to comply, or something.

But so basically the FCC can tell shows after they have been shot that they're not allowed to do certain things? I thought they already had a ruleset in place (like how you can use the word 'shit' when it's referring to some things and not to others, how you can't use the name of Jesus without actually referring to the historical figure - pretty fucked up shit really)?

I don't know about the FCC's rules. I believe they can't keep a network from showing whatever they want... but can implement fines afterward that are pretty damaging. Thus networks try to avoid anything that might land them a fine. Pretty stupid abridgment of first amendment rights in my opinion, but no body cares what my opinion is.

I love Xkcd...it's like hardcore nerd central for comics.

Speaking of creating Turing complete machines...there is a guy who made a massive Turing complete computer in Dwarf Fortress. And another guy who made a machine that can do basic calculations.

yay, british comedy!

Haha, tasteless cur!

I enjoyed watching them, but they didn't raise much more than a smile. The second one was pretty cool.

Maybe it's because it's late over here (though I'm sober), but they both made me laugh. Also this one:


I'm against censorship, but I agree with this one. It must be one of the grossest things I'd ever seen on TV.

omg...that's ridiculously unfunny. It makes me want to invade your countries and impose an embargo on all comedy.
