Many shows are swearing freely and are rascist! Don't you just hate that?
Yes, as I've stated in a previous topic, T.V is indeed losing values. You've got shows like the Boondocks and South Park that push the envelope for political correctness.
Who DOESN'T hate that? I mean, really! Is that kind of stuff supposed to entertain people!?
The government should take care of the EXTREME things (Boondocks), but minor things that are enjoyed greatly (Family Guy, Mission Hill) should be left alone until they are major.
Yeah and who decided to start showing people puking on T.V. thats just gross!!
What's Boondocks?
A Rascist show about black people. It's horrible and swear words are used freely. They should get rid of it, it poisons the mind.
:o that's bad!! yeah, they should get rid of shows like that because they seem demeaning about what you can do with your life becuase of how u look and swearing just sucks...!!
I was o.k. with the boondocks until they took a shot at MLK now it needs to be removed
But with all other show they should be left alone, no bleeping, no blurring, no black bars, if parent's don't want their kids watching certain things, don't order the channels or get a Vchip.
That's just how i feel.

yes, it annoys me alot and i cant stand when i hear it on TV!
Yeah I agree. Swearing annoys me but some programmes I like swear loads (as do my friends) so I have just learnt to ignore it.
south park swears a lot, but it rocks!
I like the chimpokomon episode!
Good old britain! (oh dear, I'm in one of those patriotic moods again)
We don't get rascist TV.
Mainly because no-one in britain (except chavs (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Chav)) finds rascism funny.
British humour (http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Foreigner%27s_Guide_to_British_Humour) is funny enough
Like Monty Python! It's British!
British humor is great, i love Monty python and the holy grail myself!
Ah yes, thouroughly British!
LITTLE BRITAIN!!! That programme rocks. It swears and can be gross but is sooo funny. As well as Dead Ringers, it just makes fun of stuff but it is hilarious.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
My favorite show is ECW(i know that most of wrestling is fake but ECW is real except for few occasions)
My favs are The Simpsons and Futurama, but lately a Canadian sitcom called Corner Gas. I don't expect you know it. It's about living in a small town (150 or so) in Saskatchewan, and its really funny. Everything anyone does screws up. Always. Lol, its so hilarious, if you see it check it out! (Although there are some Canuck-only jokes)
And Simpsons and Futurama are fine. They're funny without being overly crude. I understand swearing adds realism because people DO swear. But when people swear like they do in The Boondocks, that's not real, that's how a degenerate speaks. Also you've got the other end of the spectrum. Kid's shows. Now I know that they teach the fundamentals of life. But they sugarcoat it. They sugarcoat it, put a cherry on top, and surround it with puppies and kittens. Nothing is that sweet and innocent.
little kid shows are becoming more and more possesed and odd thasn before...i'd know, i have little cousins.
They want kids to think life is the best so that when something bad happens it really hurts.
its stupid that way, they shouldnt do that! Cause then when someonelike ur mom or dad dies, it'll hurt super bad if it happens when ur little. >:(
Yeah but when I watched this kid programme when I was little a dog got stuck in a removal van and was lonely and I cried my eyes out.
"Scrubs" is one of the best programmes ever it swears but not too often i think it is the perfect mix.
And there's nothing wrong with a little swearing. It adds realism. But there's an extreme to which you can take it like having the late Dr. King on a cartoon shouting the "N" word at multiple people. That's just wrong.
Yes, that is right. The N-word adds realism too, if used correctly. Like in shows or movies that are historical and display the oppression of the African Americans. But yeah, in the provided example it is wrong.
And there lies the problem. Most swearing is used out of context.
"Most"? This most likely differs from person to person, but I think all of it is out of context.
I think it sucks that they put it in good movies b/c then we cant watch them at school :'(. My to favs are desperate housewives and Greys anatomy.
tv is turning into garbage. :( :(
I watched the boondocks , people were shouting the n word for no reason :-X in almost every sentence there is cussing. wth?
They even made fun of martin luther >:( >:( >:(
And even sometimes, Family Guy pushes it. Like when they make fun of Jesus and stuff. Overall it's like the best of the worst in filth in T.V.
family guy, i think, is pretty stupid mnost of the time, and so is the boondocks. Why do they need to act so obscene and curse so much?
It's most likely because the script and story writers have some things wrong in their heads. It's a huge suprise that they aren't cancelled; they cancel all the good ones, but they keep the bad ones for some stupid reason.
Judgeing by the way TV's been going, i've actually accepted the fact my sattilite died all that much easier.Most of it nowaday's is either nonsensical or crude garbage or sugar-coated childrens shows. Some shows are still good, like the Simpsons, and so one, but for the most part, i dont watch much telivision anymore.Sad really....well that was a long rant..
I watch comedy central all day, it made me mad when they tempoararily cancelled the colbert report to make room for dave chappelle, it will be back on tonight though.
Comedy Central is probably THE biggest pusher for questionable subject.
Yes it is but i don't watch the shows that push it except south park, i just watch the movies and the stand-up comics they have on.
Tv is getting stupider and more perverted. especiallly the booondocks.
In boondocks they show black people as morons who shout the n word, fight over stupid reasons and cuss alot. :( :( :( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Im black and im not a moron >:( >:(
It's probably because the popularity of drugs and alcohol are at a new high.
