Sweeps period shows FCC’s hypocrisy

It has been roughly four months since the Janet Jackson Super Bowl breast episode, and society is still in one piece. But we’re not out of the woods yet. It’s time for May sweeps, and a one-second glimpse of a partially covered celebrity boob is kids’ stuff compared to what lies ahead in the coming days.

I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but some strippers have double lives. Many of them moonlight as prostitutes. I know this because I saw a special investigative report on the local news during one of television’s recent sweeps periods, where one of broadcast journalism’s undaunted seekers of truth, armed with a hidden camera, posed as a customer, stuffed dollar bills into the garter of an exotic dancer, then listened to her explain that for a few extra bills he could receive more than the usual boom-chicka-boom.

There also seems to be an inordinate amount of interest in plastic surgery during sweeps, especially breast implants. Since television stations are entrusted with serving the public good, I think it’s neat as heck that they’re warning women about the perils of “D Cup Disasters.”

Yes yes but more NO NO! It more shows that the media are more GOP Whores for reacting and airing it 24 hours a day for nearly 2 weeks. With every known GOP Whore journalist making it into Satan on Earth. Just like they did over Clinton's lie about having an affair with an adult. Just as Hyde and every other person on Earth would do.

ps. What is so wrong with seeing a human body without clothing? Does anyone know who's sick mind started this revoltion?

1. Makes no sense to me, either.
In Europe, they have no problem with nudity, as you know. But their TV usually won't air excessive violence. No heads exploding with bullets or people's arms being ripped off by monsters, etc.

Now, which is really worse?
