[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Hey, I just was looking over my Tivo suggestions and what did I see but Wonderfalls. Wax Lion. Yippie!!Marty, is it going to be on TV? I have the DVDs, so I don't know why I care, but I do. I guess I want "them" to see how WRONG they were, whoever they are.
I don't know if this has been covered or not, but:
"The PTC has asked the FCC to issue a notice of apparent liability against each Fox affiliate that aired the program."
Official complaint jobby.
"This is yet another prime example of why Congress needs to pass the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act," said L. Brent Bozell, president of the PTC, in a press release, "because with the threat of higher fines for indecent content, millions of children could be spared from viewing sexually graphic shows like 'The Inside' because the consequences would hopefully cause Fox to think twice before airing such content."
Hurray!
millions of children could be spared from viewing sexually graphic shows like 'The Inside' because the consequences would hopefully cause Fox to think twice before airing such content.
Uh...I think those children could have been spared if their parents had taken them out of the fucking room once the "This program contains graphic content" warning came up.
No offense the Americans here, but - you guys crack me up! You have some real nutters amongst you.
"The Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act"?! This is a joke, right? I mean, freedom of speech and all that.
And if it's real, please tell me the people who handle these things looked at these loons and then told them this is an idiotic idea and to just sit the fuck down and think a bit before the next time they open their mouths.

Didn't your government or your networks cut the hell out of Buffy and Angel, before they could air in UK, at least at certain hours?
They aired it at 6pm, after the news here, so it did get cut, aye.
Channel 4 tried to air Angel at the same timeslot - the first episode was missing 1 and a half minutes of footage. Before the teaser started.
I'm not saying we're less batty. British people crack me up, too.
(And yes, that paste is real).
nutters. i love that word.

There isn't a government censor, but yes, the networks do self-censor. IIRC, there is also a unofficial "watershed" hour after which the rules are loosened.

So do I. I also enjoy wingnut and another one that gets occasional play around here but that I can't remember at the moment. No, wait - wackaloon - that's the one. (Whackaloon?)
