Thank Goodness the Children are Safe

This past Tuesday the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the FCC regarding the use of expletives on television. The case stems from two Billboard Music Awards programs broadcast by Fox Television.


The Court voted 5-4 in favor of the FCC. Thank goodness for justices such as Antonin Scalia for making sure our vulnerable children are not exposed to words that conjure visions of disgusting biological functions such as sex and excrement.

Some critics raise the question as to why the FCC allowed many instances of the word “fuck” during the movie Saving Private Ryan when it was broadcast on network television. These critics completely missed the point. Saving Private Ryan is a movie about WWII, American heroism and patriotism. These critics are unpatriotic at best, traitors at worst. They were probably even routing for the Germans during the movie.

I have a solution that would solve this whole vulgarity issue. Why not just replace the use of expletives on television with something that is acceptable to the FCC and the conservative wing of the Supreme Court. I suggest that any time someone is to use an expletive it be replaced with some form of violence such as a murder scene or a war scene, or any type of gratuitous violence. Because I for one would much rather have my child exposed to scenes of violence than a horrific word that could scar him forever, not to mention act as a gateway word to, I dare not think what else.
