They can't explain a cartoon butt, why do they think they can explain sex?

[LostInAnomie]

I was listening to the news on the radio last night and a story mentioned that because of the recent FCC crack downs when Family Guy returns to television they will no longer be able to show a naked cartoon butt. I was amazed that parents have became so lazy that they feel that an animated butt is too much to explain to their children. It is so much trouble to tell their children "You know that you are not supposed to show your bare butt in public." that they must complain to the FCC.

These people who are afraid to tackle the simple subjects with a loose connection to sex are the same people who want sex education taken out of schools so they can take responsibility for it themselves at home. My question is what makes them think they are capable, let alone actually prepared intellectually for the task?

1. Because there is no way to question them.

If you get fined there is nothing set up for you to appeal to, when they say "no more cartoon butts" the decision is final.

Not very democratic, in fact, quite antidemocratic I would say.

2. What's to explain?

It's a butt. We all have butts. We don't show our butts in public. It's just a cartoon. What is the problem with these people? :eyes:

3. Lazy Fundy Parents Don't Want to Take

the responsibility of raising their kids so they expect The Government to just control the media and the culture. We shall soon see a MINISTRY OF KULTURE (although it won't be so obviously named, mark my words). This is once again the HYPOCRISY of "conservatives" who claim they want less gov't.

4. It is even causing cartoonist to censor their work

5. It's just a butt for crying out loud!

Then again, it looks like Michael Powell's ass isn't where it is supposed to be.

6. God damn prudes.

These people need to be mocked at every opportunity.

Fucking savages.
