The show should be cancelled and they should stop showing people smoking, too.

Yes, our country's kids do drugs, get pregnant and get arrested, but all hell breaks loose if someone says Fuck on TV.

I'm sorry, I must not have been clear. The FCC censors the material, yes. The conservatives do not. BUT, if you actually know what the hell you were talking about, you would know that it is the LOCAL communities that deem things obscene, and 20 bucks says the majority of the obscenity complaints are going to be from conservatives who focus on "family values" on late night television.

And to clarify a bit more, I consider myself liberal, and we're not social. ANY EXTREME ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM WOULD NOT LIKE COMPLETE AND TOTAL FREE SPEECH.

So next time you both try to "set me straight" you should first understand what I'm saying in the first place, and secondly, not be so ignorant.

Yeah, liberals run the FCC not the conservatives. Get it straight. It's also the liberals that's trying to regulate free speech: talk shows, the internet, tv programs, newspapers. extreme liberals are pretty much socialists are socialists don't like free speech.

The obvious question that nobody is asking is why doesn't that youtube poster invest in a tivo and what made him/her think to film their tv set during a mediocre SNL skit? I smell a conspiracy.

Far worse was the use of the tobacco drug in the same skit. Smoking around others is ILLEGAL. No smoking should be allowed on any program and NBC should be fined for breaking the law and for promoting use of a drug that is addictive, defective and lethal when used as intended!

Nothing "stronger" about repression! It is about trying to please as many sponsors and their fussy customers as possible, since they control the wealth and the power, and really have no reason to ever swear, unlike the common man who suffers in this system.

I think "YouTube moment" is still most applicable as you even demonstrate by linking to Youtube. It's where you will have to go to get the full experience. Historically, we've always heard about a lot of things, whether by phone and eventually email, or now Facebook and Twitter. None of those, by themselves allow you to see what the fuss is all about. As such, "YouTube moment" is most assuredly safe in a Xerox and Scotch Tape kind of way.

Have to agree. There must be more to be concerned about than someone using a word that we hear in movies ALL the time. Wakey wakey

Never heard of the bimbo before today. I guess dropping the F-bomb is the surest way to be discovered if you are an unknown comic.
The word is no big deal for the show's central demographic. I'm thinking no one was shocked. The FCC on the other hand is going to bitch slap NBC pretty good.
Oh wait NBC is an Obama network...........never mind. Don't let it happen again, wink wink...

Very good post. That reference from Wikipedia is pretty much spot on. My airshift does not fall in safe-harbor time, so I have to really watch it. I do get away with the little ones, like ass, jackass, dumbass, different variations on damn, and hell. Thats it though. We have to go through RBI (Resposible Broadcast Inititive) training every year. They want to make sure we still understand we can't say fuck, shit, cunt, stuff like that on air haha. I've seen a trend in both TV and radio, where they are really pushing the envelope. I can't believe they get away with calling people pussies on one radio morning show I listen to. I want to call people pussies in the afternoon, damnit! lol Like I said though, it's easy to do. I've had all sorts of near fuckups, and when I co-hosted a morning show with another guy, he did slip out fuck on more than one occasion. Personally, I think it's time to loosen the reigns on what we can and can not say. I mean, we've loosened them on everything else, right? This is America... I think?

For all the non-Americans out there who don't understand the fuss:
"Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" = Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker,Tits, according to the late comedian George Carlin.

"...the Supreme Court established the safe-harbor provision that grants broadcasters the right to broadcast indecent (but not obscene) material between the hours of 10 PM and 6 AM, when children are presumed to be asleep.[3][4] The FCC has never maintained a specific list of words prohibited from the airways during the time period from 6 AM to 10 PM, but it has maintained general guidelines regarding obscenities.[5] The seven dirty words had been assumed to be likely to elicit indecency-related action by the FCC if uttered on a TV or radio broadcast, and thus the broadcast networks generally censor themselves with regard to many of the seven dirty words."--Wikipedia

The above is not for stations that take money directly from people who subscribe ("cable" TV), because if you're specifically paying for a station it's assumed you will police yourself.

I do live radio. Sometimes, things just accidently slip out. The FCC's been looking at revamping what's considered vulgar and indecent for a few years now. I think they need to adjust the laws on it, and believe they will... eventually. Until then, just keep biting your lip if you work in media and try not to fu..... kin' cuuurse... you get the point.

So much for free speech in America!

the conservatives have nothing to do with the FCC. which ironically is headed by the opposite of Conservatives. It has more to do with the charter and it being written back when there were stronger morals and ethics in this country. Either way it was funny.

I've no idea who she is, but I really can't see what the fuss is about.

That is hilarious that this is news in the US. Isn't SNL supposed to be alternative comedy? Doesn't it start at 11:30pm Eastern Time? I had no idea swearing was such a sensitive issue on American TV! That's surely due for a rethink in this age of user-generated, unmoderated (or crowd-moderated) content.
