"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The smoking gun:

"When the brief scene in question was telecast almost five years ago, this critically acclaimed drama had been on the air for a decade and the realistic nature of its storylines was well known to the viewing public."

Also called, "Please go yell at a rerun for exposing you to spoilers."

By all expanses of logic, one naked butt is as allowable as any other, under the same non-sex, non-crapping circumstances. And... I think the first butt I saw on network television was in 1994. Hell, I've seen butt on soap opera (not more than once)!

I'm sorry, FCC: the butt train has already left the station.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No! Protect the children!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There was at least one episode of MASH where they showed Radar's butt. (The compound was bombed while he was in the shower, or something like that.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

They've also showed Bart Simpson's naked butt, for that matter.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And Homer's. They do always keep Marge covered up though. Hm.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Odd question: Does anyone else "storyboard" their PowerPoint presentations?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

NYPD Blue was still on the air in 2003?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe...How you mean storyboard exactly?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's really very simple --

Male butt = funny = OK for prime time!

Female butt = sexay = OHNOESWON'TSOMEBODYTHINKOFTHECHILDREN???!!!!

Like ... I have a presentation I need to do that's 10 slides. I draw ten blank squares on a sheet of paper and then make brief notes for what each is going to contain. Introduction, Example, Conclusion, Sources. Kind of like an outline, but in squares.
