Now, where did I put the very dirtiest parts of last week's TV? Oh, yeah: at parentstv.org, home to those fundie censorship warriors who crank out carbon-copy complaint letters to the FCC. Why, they'd be sure to wipe out obscenity if they'd start putting together a nightly half-hour highlight reel of all the dirtiest, crudest, nudest stuff on TV. With RSS and Bittorent. (Uh, NSFW, if watching a man cram a woman into his ass on South Park isn't S at your W)

  • Contains gratuitous teen sex. Airs at 8/7 Central. Simple. Effective. I know I'll be watching. Thanks, religious nutballs!
  • That CSI clip was HI-larious! I'm gonna have to bookmark this sucker. Thanks, ParentsTV!
  • Did you notice that you can change the text of your complaint with their text editor? "Kenny Eatabagadonuts, Ph. D." just sent in a letter complaining that the CSI episode was boring, featured too many fat people, and ripped off its best parts from The Avengers and Dragnet's "Blue Boy" episode. "Kenny Eatabagadonuts, Ph. D." of 123 Fake Street in Capitol City is very concerned about these issues. Please keep him informed!
  • js brings up an interesting issue. Could we, by sending enough comically bogus complaints, drown out all real complaints sent with the same form, and encourage the FCC to automatically (or habitually) trash complaints from the PTC website?
  • Wow, this is great. Now I don't have to watch the whole show to get the most shocking moments - I can just come here. Thanks, ParentsTV.org! By the way, the necrophilia scene? Creeeeepy.
  • Also, I just sent a letter to the FCC complaining that CSI is boring.
  • How do you think ParentsTV would feel about receiving a pile of complaint emails themselves?
  • What an excellent service! it reminds me of UK Channel 4's 'red triangle' warning on potentially offensive films way back when - perfect viewing guide for the desperate teenager, erm, apparently
  • Isn't it a violation of copyright for The Parents Television Council to be showing clips of these programs?
  • hutta: that's what I was wondering. At the very least, it'd be fun.
  • Wow... I guess I need to start watching TV again. Who knew what I was missing?
  • Hutta- That's what I'm hoping. Or at least give moments of mirth to the poor schlub who has to read all these letters. Even by slipping a few joke ones in there, it should brighten their day. Kenny Eatabagadonuts demands action! (Well, can he?)
  • Where were the teen orgies when I was in high school?
  • I am concerned that js is watching too much television. Without James Dobson & his cronies, how would I ever know what crap to watch?
