Personally I don't give a fuck if people use the f-word on air - however do the FCC care about basic cable swears? (I never see anyone swearing but I don't know if they rack up those big-money fines)

Anyway - given the recent conservative supreme court rulings supporting the govt in it's quest to regulate "indecency" over the airwaves with extreme prejudice, it will be interesting to see if a Republican spouse of an FCC employee is given the same treatment as Hollywood celebs.
 
[quote name='Friend of Sonic']I read a little about Joe and apparently he flips out whenever he hears someone use the f-word in an awards show or the like.[/quote]

Good point. I just googled some articles and came up with this gem:

On October 27, 2003, Scarborough expressed extreme anger that the FCC refused to impose fines on ABC when Bono used "the 'F' word" during a live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards:

"The show was live, and unlike SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY, the "F" word was not bleeped out. Earlier this month, the FCC ruled that Bono's acceptance speech and his use of the word that began with an "F" was not a violation of indecency rules. . . ..
Robert, it was at 8:00. Kids were watching this. You've studied television and pop culture. What does it say about our FCC that we've come this far or you could say gone this far backward that somebody could say the "F" word on TV and get the federal government's approval?
Scarborough then even boasted to his guest that his upbringing was so fine that he was taught not to use such words:
Robert, I'm glad to hear that you don't use the words and you didn't use them growing up. All I'll say is, my mom put soap in my mouth more than once or twice."

Apparently, she didn't do it enough.

Ahahaha. I didn't read that article. That's so hypocritical. What's with all the retarded Joes this year? Joe Sixpack, Joe the Plumber, Joe Biden, Joe Scarborough. Man, it's a bad time to be named Joe because apparently it means you're an idiot.
