Censorship has it's positives.
Things like BBFFC conforms to what society wants to be shown at certain times of the day.
I'm glad it does that. There's a place for hardcore porn.

That is the gayest fucking shit I've ever heard, and I had Barry Manilow perform at the White House in '82.

I dunno, the FCC surprised me when they fought for small neighborhood radio stations to broadcast in existing markets. The FCC for some reason likes radio, but are generally pricks about everything else.

George Carlin was also smart and observant. You uncensor television and you just get flooded with retards who think "Cussing is Funny!"


This.

Since the corporations that own the stations have proven conclusively time and again that they lack the ability to evaluate what actually worthwhile programming, an organization like the FCC needs to exists just to keep their junk to a minimum.

"It's The Hills! With lots of swearing! This will get the ratings!"
Your faith does not amuse me. Fundamentalism is a singularly unfunny disposition- A Rightist Puppet

In short, "fascist" is a modern word for "heretic," branding an individual worthy of excommunication from the body politic. The right uses otherwords ("reverse-racist," "feminazi," "unamerican," "communist") for similiar purposes, but these words have less elastic meanings. Fascism, however, is the gift that keeps on giving. - Jonah Goldberg, revisited.
