Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
Reminds me of the time my then 12 year old came home from school and, as I was happily stirring the pasta sauce, asked "What's oral sex?"
My answer "It's when you talk about sex"
Another one... the same child but then only 7or 8 year old "What's a lesbian?"
Answer...."Someone in Greek mythology who lived on the Isle of Lesbos"
She is off to college soon and we can talk about anything and we laugh about those answers now but at the time I just felt she was too young to have the truth.
All my children are girls and when they reached the age of wanting to read Cosmo Girl I decided that they could but so would I and they had to be prepared to discuss any of the articles with me. Occasionally I did do it

I remember the first ever commercial I seen for condoms on tv, I think I was about seven. I turned to my mum and asked what a condom was and she promptly replied ask your dad, when I turned to face him I found that he had fallen asleep on the couch!! Aye right!!
Worked though as I forgot to ask again and had to figure it out for myself in the years that followed!

The problem with getting HBO is that it's a similar problem to Netflix.......... you are paying extra, and iirc HBO is not cheap, especially on top of what we already have to pay for cable/satellite.

There is something really funny about picturing someone taking years figuring out what a condom was for........... makes me wonder what you tried out before getting it right!! :-p

Okay, I know this is slightly annoying to most people, but to me, it is bleepin infuri-bleepin-ating!!!I am watching 8 Mile, whatever you think about this movie doesn't matter. It isn't the point. It comes on at 7.30pm, it has a ton of adult content, sexual ...............................sure my step daughter will not turn into a serial killer if she hears it on TV rather than in the street with the other kids. GGGrrr, fuming!!! Sorry. Please refrain from reminding me of this when I sober up. I hate you all

Re: beep bleep bleepin bloody bleep
Saw an ad yesterday for a strip club here in K-Zoo. They had happy familes there, girlfriends and wives all smiling as some big knockered bird in a french maids outfit served them burgers and fries. The point of the ad was - guess what, we not only open in the evening for guys to get their rocks off, we open during the day for lunch too, so c'mon down ya'll, bring the family for a fun day out. All the while there were chicks pole dancing. Granted there were no kids there but the ad came across as if this is a wholesome place to go for lunch. And yet you can't hear the word F*** on TV late at night. Where are the priorities?
(PS - they do do nice burgers) ((I am told))

I am watching 8 Mile, whatever you think about this movie doesn't matter. It isn't the point. It comes on at 7.30pm, it has a ton of adult content, sexual and bad language. We all know this. This is why we don't let our kids watch movies like 8 Mile and why we (in the UK) have a 9pm watershed; because after 9pm you are expected to be responsible for what your kids see on TV, and if you can't be then it is your own bleepin fault!!! fair play.
But here, in the land of the free, home of the brave, you can't hear the word ****, or shit(e) on TV even at midnight. Like, lets destroy a whole film because we, the powers that be (no doubt the christian bleepin right) have decided that to hear these words, words you learned at five years old in the playground at school may corrupt you and our great bleepin bleepin nation!!!
In a nation that finds it morally essential to have holy men bless A-bombs, pour napalm onto children, flood ghettos with cocaine to fund illegal little skirmishes in countries nobody has even heard of, assassinate it's own leaders and rig elections - it is okay to destroy a movie because the script contains the word ****. (In fact, I think they even banned the French Connection UK ads here didn't they, or tried too?)
Apologies for this rant BE but it is getting old quick. I am old enough to hear the word fuc(K), my wife is and I am sure my step daughter will not turn into a serial killer if she hears it on TV rather than in the street with the other kids. GGGrrr, fuming!!! Sorry. Please refrain from reminding me of this when I sober up. I hate you all
