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 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.
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.....
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.
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.
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

I can't make it fit logically. Can you?
crudity and vulgarity are truly the hallmarks of an enlightened society!
Gommorah is such a lovely place......
And what of the fucking movie?

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

Suggestions on a postcard please.
