What usually comes next in the above phrase? I think you can guess. That's exactly what I saw when I tuned into one of my favorite shows last time it aired. The world's going to hell in a hand basket. Moni's getting ready to rant so clear the room of children and small pets.
I was watching a showed called Nip Tuck the other night. I'll have to admit it's one of my guilty pleasures. It's like a soap opera on Red Bull. Provocative kicked up a notch and sprinkled with medical terminology. I expected it to be risque, but what I saw the other night while watching said show was nothing short of porn. Yeah, unadulterated porn! What? Have the Neilson's lost there ever-loving mind. FX shame on you, you can bet your sweet t.v. guide, I'll start writing a letter. This particular episode showed a Menage et toi and not only that, all three actors where buck naked and doing the nasty from two different sexual positions. Okay, so it comes on late at night and so it's on FX; still no excuse.
I used to criticize people like Tipper Gore as over reactionary, what with the censorship of the music industry. But, ones prospective changes when you factor in the fact that no matter how you try to protect your children against vulgarity in the media(all types), you can't be with them 24/7. I remember disobeying my parents and sneaking up after they thought I had fallen asleep to watch the Exocist, I'm still checking under the bed for that one. Frankly, I'm scared for my daughter. This wasn't HBO, or any of the other movie channels, it was basic cable!
Shame on you FX...shame! Nip Tuck should be retitled Nip F****. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. Who's with me?!

You didn't happen to get that one on tape did you?
Joking. Even the movies you see on the big screen seem to stay away from explicit sex anymore. A good movie doesn't need it if it has everything else. Having children changed my perspective completely. I'll introduce the subject matter when I think my kids are ready. I don't want it to happen prematurely because they happened upon an episode of Nip Tuck.
That said, you should have known. I saw the preview for that show and saw it for what it was right away. Still, those kinds of shows have their place and audience. As a kid, I loved to tune into Mike Hammer for the engorged breast factor.
Yeah would you like the tape? Cute scott...real cute. ;)
I know the show is racier than most, and I've watched it before at least a dozen times, but this time the show not only pushed the boundaries, they blew the door right off it's hinges.
There is a mature theme running through the show such as; cross-dressing, dope smoking, mensestration, and vanity. In the past sex scenes were delt with as seeing the actors faces, but this scene showed all three actors totally naked and in two different sexual positions, acting sex, and everything but the pubic regions exposed. FX shows some decent shows, and I don't want to have to block it. But, it looks like I'll have to. Pretty soon, there will be nothing left on tv that my daughter can watch at all.
"As a kid I loved to tune into Mike Hammer for the engorged brest factor." ROTFL! Well, at least that show didn't show the other use for breasts, the one besides providing nourishesment for the wee ones. ;)
ooops mispelled breasts...breastesess; even. ;p
