Fuck the FCC

Another reason Kerry should have won. The FCC is ridiculous. There are so many complaints by so-called "Family Values" groups about the airing of "Saving Private Ryan" on ABC last Thursday. The film was shown unedited (as it should be seen), which means soldiers said the "f" word some 20 times. Oh, I'm sorry. Wasn't this a tribute to WWII veterans on Veteran's Day? Don't you think, if they don't want their children to see it, some asshole parents should've sent their kids to bed? And don't you think, if parents DID want their kids to see it, that it would be a great way for them to have a conversation with their kids about WWII and the devastating loss this country has had in many wars to fight for freedom not just in our country but all over the world? I'm sorry, FCC. Fuck you. I remember in college watching "Schindler's List" on NBC - unedited. "Saving Private Ryan" is similar in importance, and I would just go completely nuts if "Family Values" groups went crazy over the airing of "Schindler's List." Some people have their priorities completely wrong and don't see it when there is an opportunity for their children to learn an important lesson. They're gonna say the "f" word no matter what. They might as well learn something while they're at it.
