Jon Stewart just said "Pricks" on tv & didn't get bleeped

[orleans]

can you say "pricks" on tv?

i'm stunned!

suddenly i feel as if a censorship weight has been lifted and i'm just so happy to hear him say "Pricks"


hahaha

1. On The Daily Show?

Cable. Network standards don't apply to cable... well, not yet, anyway.

[Robeson]

2. I didn't see it, but I hope he was referring to Republicans.

[orleans]

3. he was referring to the show crossfire

and how they began tuesdays show with this angelic sounding music and pope stuff

jon said something to the effect that obviously he's been too easy on those pricks

i can't remember exactly what he said--i was wowed by hearing the P word!

it was simply amazing, grace.

14. I said "Wow!" out loud when he said it

which was kinda messy because I was eating cereal at the time. :spray:

4. That's nothing

I remember very clearly one time he said "those fuckers" and it went unbleeped. He joked about it at the start of the next day's show.

5. Well according to George Carlin

the words you can't say on TV are:
Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker and Tits.

[Robeson]

7. Well Geez. There goes my vocabulary.....

[hippiepunk]

6. Pricks isn't

banned yet.

[MADem]

8. It's not a one of the seven dirty words, apparently

If I prick you, do you not bleed?

9. I think it's all a Ploy by the Right-Wingy-Ding-Bats

I too am noticing more freedoms on our blessed television sets lately. And I also believe it's a huge ploy to bast the idiot right-wingbats reasons for wanting to ban more on televison.

I overheard (caught this) just the other day from some big religious fanatic group on C-Span. That's when the lightbulb went off.

They're not going to stop till the whole system crashes down on themselves. I can dream, anyway.

10. That rule's already been smashed to pieces by NYPD Blue

They've used it multiple times, in appropriate contexts, of course. :)

I still remember when MASH got away with saying "son of a bitch" for the first time.

[Bossy Monkey]

11. A few weeks ago they ran a tape where somebody said, uh, bullshit or

something and he pointed it out and also remarked that on tomorrow morning's rerun it was going to be bleeped. Apparently they get a degree of leniency due to the lateness of the hour.

12. a new shoe commercial says and has text for "dumbass"

surprised me. doesn't bother me though.

13. tonight was a good episode

the clips with SM were great, "how dare you point out our bull shit?"
