Oh you guy's have got to see this one.

2. You mean "salad tossing" isn't taught at Bible camps?
The state of education these days!

3. It's honestly too bad that those letters weren't more
coherent and professional. A professional letter-writing campaign with thousands of well-written and intelligent letters would have given Powell no choice but to fine Oprah.

Instead, they'll just laugh the writers off as a bunch of nutcases.

Sigh....

8. Yeah, especially the "Citizens against Undecent Network Television"
I mean, could you get more obvious? I think that only W wouldn't get that one.

Besides, the acronym would be CAUNT.

14. Some of them are obviously supportive,
Edited on Tue May-04-04 07:36 PM by boxster
in a sarcastic sort of way.

Re: the acronym - hence, the selective capitalization.

13. not Powell
He's a worthless ninny who is more beholden to fattening station owners and other megaconglomerates than he is to doing his job of protecting the rights of the US public to their own airwaves, and that includes the right to informative programming.

All these bible bangers and illiterate dimwits will be taken very seriously. The well-reasoned, articulate letters will be dumped. Too many big words, too hard to read.

It's called the SWITCH. If you don'tlike it, turn it off. Oh, and don't worry about the bay-bees. By the time they're 13, they'll be able to educate you even more than Oprah does, and from their own classmates and neighbors.

but licking someone's asshole, now that's off limits.

7. Hmm thats odd
Being a bit puritanical, I thought I'd google Ms Jenkins group so i could join.

The funny thing is, I don't get any hits when I use the full name of the organisation, but I get heaps of hits if I use the acronym.

Wierd huh?

9. LOL
My favorite is on page 4:

The Oprah show described with graphic detail a sexual term known as "tossing salad." It was so offensive that my child's head literally exploded. Please ban free speech so this never happens again.

(emphasis mine)

Man, I'd be upset too if my child's head exploded from watching Oprah! :evilgrin:

16. I don't understand. Do they stick their butt in the salad bowl?
I hope they wipe afterward. That salad dressing is hard to get out of furniture.

21. I hate to sound clueless but
I have no idea what a tossed salad might be.

I am thinking of something green with croutons and ranch dressing.

tossed salad, mmmmmmmmmmm

But this post is pretty funny.
Have these people nothing better to do?

A Wendy's salad sounds just about right.
I'll be back.

23. This is funny, but I'd jus t LOVE to see what would happen if
the FCC decided to fine or BAN Oprah. Do you have any idea how many avid watchers she has???

I actually hope they try to do it!

Talk about revolt!!!!
