What the hell...

Okay, so I'm watching tv and a commercial for the 5 o'clock news comes on. I guess Vince Neal said Fuck on Jay Leno or something so now all the news stations are crying about it. I'm not even kidding when I say that Channel 5 News called Fuck "the dreaded four letter word." Were they watching too much Christmas Story over the holidays? I decided

The newswhores have to have their ratings and cant let anyone else get a story they dont carry so they do bits about every stupid thing they can think of.

Jay Leno is taped too, so they carry a good part of the blame for not cutting that part out of the interview, but they were after ratings too I would bet.

Oh, I have zero doubt they were after ratings. All the networks have to one up each other. I think someone saying fuck should be like at the end of a newsbroadcast in the "Oops!" category or something. Who the fuck cares!?

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck!

At least cnn.com went with the more humorous "F-bomb" terminology.

Ah well. Can't speak for everybody, but I never heard a word on the telly that I didn't hear at school first.

I wouldn't have been so wound up about it - but the way the newsanchor said it was like the world was collapsing. She got all serious and monotone with this look in her eyes that I cannot explain!

haha that's great! You crack me up. I heard about it on the radio and they were talking about Tommy Lee having a potty mouth too. Who fucking cares?

Seriously! It's like the media thinks we're all 10 year old and they must tell us how to feel about things. It annoys me to no fucking end!
