Network and Cable television confuses me.

October 21, 2001

Network and Cable television confuses me. Today as I watched the many movies that were handed to me by TNT and USA, I noticed the inconsistencies of language. There was no problem using the words nigger or fag, and not in an educational manner, but you never hear the words pussy or dick or even clitoris. Why is it that racial slurs are more acceptable than sexual vulgarities? It definitely bothers me a lot more when someone uses the word nigger or kike than when someone says fuck or pussy. I think they should just let everything in. I understand the safe harbor laws, and that makes sense to me, but I think everything should be allowed after 10pm. Agreed?

Do you have any good links about this issue?
