Life network (tv) anyone?

[silverpig]

So I'm flipping through the channels at 8pm here and come across the life network channel. They show a lot of those "biology of sex" and sexual secrets shows later at night (after 9 or so). It's usually pretty tame but there is quite a bit of nudity in the educational sense.

But there's this show on right now that's supposed to be some kind of open dialogue between a group of guys and a group of girls about sex, and they're talking about everything like most people and their friends do. Dropping the f-bomb all over the place, talking about... well... certain processes in the full slang.

I'd post some screen caps if I had linux drivers for my AIW card... but it's cool they get away with this here

Never heard of it.

I don't think I've ever heard teh f-word on TV before. I don't watch much though.

So are they going to get fined $40,000 per instance, or what?

Bahahaha, now they have people faking orgasms on tv.

Some of these chicks are really good at it... the dudes all suck though.

Too funny.

no, that only applies to radio...because radio is so overwhelmingly powerful that if a dirty word or phrase or EVEN INITIALS go over the airwaves, the country will riot and childrens blood will run in the street.

This is cable, which you pay to see and which is not "public airwaves."

It's cable.
It's on later (but then it's cable so doesn't apply anyway)
It's related to the content of the show and a language warning was given at the beginning of the show.
It's not cool that people can't converse without dropping bombs all the time.
