6. That's what I mean! That she would say Czechoslovakia in this day and age is an OUTRAGE!
An OUTRAGE!!

Clearly racist.

4. It's amazing how so many people have all the time in the world to look for ways to be offended.
Like all the jackoffs who spend their days looking for coded sexual messages in Disney movies, and spend their days watching TV just so they can record words and images they find offensive so they can mail them in to whatever "Christian" rightwing media center takes all those notes and asks its barely literate audience to send in shitloads of money so that they can go "fight" against the sex-obsessed liberals, but which really goes to the pockets of the few people clever enough to realize there's big money to be had by scaring rightwingers.

Sex-obsessed liberals who aren't, by the way, spending all day looking for sex.

10. I wasn't looking for "coded sexual messages"

I was watching the Today Show. And I thought it was pretty hilarious. Last month I saw Diane Keaton drop the F-Bomb on Good Morning America. Considering how seldom I get a chance to watch these shows, I find it odd that I saw both. What am I? Some kind of magnet for FCC violations? It's not like I was watching the Super Bowl Half-Time Show, for God's sake. Then I expect to see a little sumpin' sumpin'.

edit: spelling

5. And, considering the source (Newsbusters= RW slop).... big deal, so what if she did...
..I'd rather hear Jane Fonda say dirty words than read most anything that little pr!ck writes.

12. She did. I saw it.
I just looked for a link with the actual video and that was the first one I found. It was great--she didn't even pause when she said it. When they cut back the the full view it looked like Meredith Veira was about to fall out of her chair. Hilarious!

8. That is hysterical....
I am no offended by her use of the word. If she had called someone C**t, then perhaps, but she just used it in an off-the-cuff way.

What a riot that everyone gets into a tizzy...

9. Yes!
We should stop treating that word like it's got magic powers. Fucksake.

11. Tee hee!
Sorry to say, but I use that word a little too often...

:hide:

Too much Brit influence I suppose...

13. Why is that offensive?
:crazy:

She wasn't calling someone else a cunt; she was referring to the title of a piece (so to speak) she was asked to do. An acting job.

People are so stupid.

14. Not offensive, but definitely surprising.
That is not a word I have ever heard used before on my morning info-tainment TV shows.

Lighten up. I thought it was funny.
