Keith Robinson let one fly about ten minutes ago and nothing stopped him! Wow!

Shit may not be a big deal on this forum, but I still consider it to be one on TV when its basic cable or network TV.

Southpark (Comedy Central) fit it into a half hour show 162 times. That was about 2 and 1/2 years ago.

I know that South Park did it. But they gave warning, and told their advertisers.

Legally, as a basic cable network they can do what they want, they are only beholden to their advertisers. I was just surprised that they let this slip through since they usually bleep words harsher than ass.

I remember someone posted on here when a similar thing happened on The Daily Show and I just wanted to post it, because it obviously wasn't intended.

Giraldo seemed like he was ready to walk.

Yeah, I don't think Proops is going to be on the show for a while since Giraldo is the most popular guest and Proops was acting like a twat.

Why is this a big deal nowadays? The Shield and NYPD Blue use the S-bomb all the time.

It's not a big deal when shows warn not only the advertisers, but the audiences. It's when they don't that causes problems.

Well, I wish they didn't beep out the "naughty words" on "Significant Others" because it would be so much funnier, and much more "real".

I thought Giraldo was going to punch the guy. Don't mess with Harvard Law School graduates when they're discussing cases.
