Seven Second to Purity

I remember (hold on it’s time for the way-back machine) back in the 70’s, for those of you that hadn’t been born yet, about 30 or so years ago. The radio would put in a delay to keep live callers for using words like Bit*h, Sh*t, azz, g*dda*mit, the famous “F” word and the still popular “N” word. All because society felt that these words are or were not used by proper society. They were not thinking about the kids then, they were thinking about the Bible belt, the Jerry Farwell’s, Oral Roberts’ and Jim Bakers. Are these names foreign to you? Look them up in Google.

The FCC had little to do with what was said on radio or television because, there was a morel code in place and the networks policed their own products. If a movie was on TV it would have been screened and edited for any offensive language and glimpses of flesh that may have been in them. Kind of like the James Bond movies, did you notice that the only nudity was in the opening credits and you had to look real real hard to see anything.

Take the everlasting Soap Operas. They use to have standards. You would have only heard “You Witch!” not the newly allowed words Bit*h. Now, I do remember watching All My Children, just to see Judith Light (before she met Tony Danza) playing a “prostitute” (the oldest profession) Thick! Or one life to live, with the no bra wearing Tina, she always got her points across (oYo). And last but not least General Hospital with Hookers turn respectable Nurses, Housewives turn Sluts and people having sex on the living room floor and getting up and walking out without cleaning themselves up. (And it was her house) Heather Weber, had more turns then a doorknob.

There weren’t any outburst of outraged parents then. Why because the moral fabric of this country has been reined in by the religious minority. Yes I said it, if they were the majority, then why are there so many strip club, adult book stores, liquor stores, dope smokers, hookers and johns, prisoners, adult websites, not to mention politicians. I could go on but you get the idea. I’m sorry but most of the a fore mentioned people are parents…ooops!

Now back to the seven seconds. Just because Damita Jo (Janet Jackson), had her “wardrobe malfunction”. The country was beating down the FCC’s door with complaints. Remember that these are the same people that grew up with or as hippies, the free love generation, sex, drugs, and rock & roll. It seem to me that the people doing all of the complaining are the same people that want to tell everyone else what they are to see, hear, or do. Take the V-chip, why is a V-chip needed? When I was growing up the only thing required to keep me from looking at something that was deemed inappropriate (the Tonight Show), was my mother telling me not to look at it (not withstanding the threat of corporal punishment if I failed to do as she said} and I am not talking about “Time Out”. WTF?, what idiot came up with this crap?) or not to look at TV all together. But since my time growing up, parents have changed, government has changed, this country as a whole has changed.

The V-chip is another techie piece of equipment that parents can’t work. All you have to do is look at the VCR 12:00…12:00…12:00. if your kids don’t set the time, you will be lost.

Children growing up 30 to 50 years ago have decided that their parents were inept at rising children. Even though their parents tried to make ensure that their children received the best of everything, it only left the children thinking that they were/are superior. Know- it- alls.

Again, back to the seven seconds. I don’t see any thing wrong with the seven seconds, if it is used for the purpose it is intended. Some people take advantage of opportunity every chance the get, i.e. “Super Bowl commercials”. I don’t know if it is true but I heard that the NFL got slammed for allowing the Go Daddy slot on, because it was suppose to be in bad taste. WTF, it was clever and very well staged. (The second part of the commercial was banned. www.ifilm.com for the clips that did not make the game.) It was aired on television at least 4 days before the Super bowl. Therefore no one had any excuse for it slipping past the decency police. BTW I intend to register my web sit through them because of the commercial. (Not the girl, the $8.95).

Any way watch the Oscar’s and enjoy the act. Did you hear that some people want pull Cris Rock from being the host, because he said that the Oscar’s are just a fashion show, and that no straight male would want to set through the whole thing, especially since he says he never has.

Let’s just wait for the fallout from that at the show and see what he has to say. (this should be fun).

Top Ten Questions I Need Answered about Blogs

%

No, that was not a mistake. % is the language the government uses in the Budget, when it does not what to use the true dollar amount i.e. $1 with seven or eight zeros behind it. It’s like…. 19.99 instead of $20.00.

-$999,000,000

No Sugar, Salt, Sex, Alcohol, Running, Shoveling, Driving, SMOKING……part 1

Weyco, has determined that it has the power to make its employees do what they tell them, even away from work.

For those of you that don’t know, Weyco has informed its employees, that they are subject to termination if they do not quit smoking. Not only are they to not smoke at or on company grounds but in their own homes as well. (Now ain’t that a bit*h)

The reason for this radical move by this company is their health insurance and the loss of productive of its workers. Apparently, too many of its workers have cancer or some sort of medical condition related to smoking. Therefore, for example, if you do not smoke, you will not miss work because you broke you leg while smoking a butt when walking across the street and getting hit by a Mack truck!. Or you will not need a 10 minute break, three times a day to go outside in –zero degree weather, to get away for the pinheads that have been stressing you all day. Those are just a few examples of lost productive.

The next thing they will add to the terms of employment will be Alcohol…. Oops…I must have forgotten Alcohol is Legal too! As you can see if they start with smoking what will be next. Security at the door every morning with one of those order detecting machines… you walk thru the door and it goes off just like the thief alarms in department stores.

You thought that random drug test were a pain. What would happen if you went to a restaurant where people are allow to smoke in there section (another rare breed) and you get to work smelling like smoke…. OOOO! “Smith report to the company nurse!”

24 ooops!

Now I have been watching 24 from the beginning. I have been thoroughly involved in every soap operatic twists and turns. The last minute cliffhangers are great. The technology used in the show is amazing. If there is technology out there that could work as quickly and efficiently as on the show, we would have the WAR ON TERROR on the run.

But, I know that we don’t and there are no quick and easy solutions for any of the problems that we have to deal with at this time. However, I’m I wrong, but is the CTU the most infiltrated organization in the “TV” government?

Every traitor has been in the CTU and every one of them has used Cell Phones to communicate with their comrades. Right or Wrong? I know that I am right. So with all of the technology available to them, why is it that there is not way to monitor or to jam all unauthorized signals from within this one compound?

By the way… Doesn’t everyone working at the CTU have to have Ultra Top Secret Clearance? Which means that there has to be a background check. When I received my clearance while in the Army, it took them 16 months to clear my background.

I know that this is only entertainment and it is only suppose to hold our attention to suspend our belief in reality for 1 hour at a time. But come on now, don't over look the obvious. If you can read a match book from 30 miles high, you should be able to detect cell phones transmission for your secure facility.

Again
