Yeah, well since this is the randomness hour, you know what else bothers me?

Those Go Daddy commercials. Ok, it starts out in the conference room, and the two "models" are talking with everyone like they are part of the employees...like this is a project that has to be done. And then the other people, who are not models, tell them that Go Daddy is "contractually obligated" and then they are walking (naked I guess) into a studio and acting like it's embarrassing, like they never expected to do this.

So, what is the context of all this. That they have two models who sit in the cubicles with all the tech support representatives and who ordinarily do...what? And then they have to appear naked, but they think it's not ordinarily part of their job.

I can't make it fit logically. Can you?

And...? Don't get the point you're making. You say "fuck" so much in the Stranger anyway.

It's not obscene if you say it with the right English accent.

I stumbled across that independently earlier this evening and thought almost immediately of this "why not say fuck in dailies" theme you've brought up several times over the years. Good eye on this one. Likable fellow, too, hair and abs and all...

Well do we of the flying monkey squad remember your running theme of "why don't U.S. dailies write fuck". I read this a few hours before your post (thank you, John Carter google alert) and thought of you. Nicely done.

Oh fuck off! I don't care about this.

If it makes you feel better, the P.I. has the word "ass" on it's front page. I know a little ass always makes me feel better.

I'd like that actor to go fuck off. And "forgettable" is about the nicest thing I've heard said about "Snakes on a Plane"

this is so wonderful.

crudity and vulgarity are truly the hallmarks of an enlightened society!

Gommorah is such a lovely place......

Blah blah blah.
And what of the fucking movie?

Texas forever!

Kind of a bland article. That being said, the Guardian is a great newspaper. I pay 10.00 a month to get it on the Kindle and it's so worth it.
13
And some newspapers run topless photos of women. The Brits are a lot more relaxed about nakedness and bad words than we are. This is not new stuff.

To really see the juxtaposition, watch something on BBC America, then find the same thing online on the real BBC. When I think of all the full nudes of Capt. Jack Harkness that I missed out on.....
14
However they should really limit any words by Tim Riggins. More photos. Dan & Terry FNL fans?

Texas Forever! Clear eyes, full heart, can't lose!

The Guardian can do whatever it wants. It's the last decent paper there is. The Stranger blog isn't safe for work with all the ads for strippers on the border.

Getting an online subscription to the guardian on your kindle is the douchiest shit I've ever heard in my life. I revoke my support for gay marriage.

Yes we're more comfortable with swearing but we still have to put up with shit like this:

The good thing was that our Home Office came right out and defended the proposals for the law to allow 'gay or homosexual' marraige. The bad part being that they didn't condemn this hateful bigots opinion and question how same-sex marriage is more unpleasant - to the point of being 'grotesque' - than raping children.

Suggestions on a postcard please.

@13 All those nudes of Captain Jack were cut from our version of the broadcast.

John Oliver once said that it's because the English are miserable bastards. Largely because of the weather, which is even worse than Seattle's.

@13: No, they're not a lot more relaxed about nakedness than America is. They're a *little* more relaxed about nakedness than America is. It's just that America is so psycho about nakedness that it makes the UK look positively relaxed. Pretty much every country on the north side of the Mediterranean (plus Germany and a couple others) is *actually* a lot more relaxed about nakedness

and snakes on a plane was not a forgettable film.
21
Yeah they can. Our news is also slightly less testosteroned. But you guys invented musical theatre and Dan savage. So we're both winners!

Please wait...
