So I was reading PerezHilton, yes I like PerezHilton, fucking sue me. So anyway, I was reading PerezHilton and I read that 100,000 people sent in complaints to Fox over an episode of American Dad. Apparently the show featured a horse ejaculating, and actually they didn't even show it. It was implied. But still 100,000 complained and Fox ignored it. Now the FCC is threatening to fine them $25,000, and fine every station that aired the episode.
Like, what the fucking fuck?
Firstly, it wasn't even shown, it was implied, just like all of the sex in Family Guy/American Dad. Secondly, if anyone is offended by implied animal ejaculation MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T BE WATCHING THE SHOW IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE. Like who's really going to be that much of a pussy to not be able to take some implied sexual content, and the show regularly contains frank sexual content so no one should be blown out of the water over it. I mean come on, Family guy implied that Brian (a dog) had sex with a woman. OH HOLD THE FUCKING PRESSES HOW DARE A CARTOON KNOWN FOR BEING OFFENSIVE SHOW OFFENSIVE CONTENT.
Frivolous censorship like this seriously pisses me off. Especially with that bullshit "think of the children" line that they always bring up. How about you watch your fucking kids? Parental Controls exist for a goddamn reason. The whole world doesn't have to be sanitized so you don't have to pay attention to your own kids. Stop expecting everyone to do your job for you. We're in the technological age where your kids are going to see some shit, either on tv, in a movie, on the internet, in a video game or texted to them on a cellphone. FUCKING DEAL WITH IT. Don't try to get rid of it because it's not going to go away so why don't you try just fucking explaining it to them instead of trying to cover their eyes and pretend that it doesn't exist.
People just irritate my fucking life sometimes. We live in a world where people try way too hard to "push the envelop" and "offend people" it's getting to the point where it's not even funny or entertaining anymore. What ever happened to wit and subtlety? I spent a couple days watching old horror movies, then recent ones. And it seems the recent ones are "lets pack as much blood and titties into 115 minutes at we can." Like wtf, this shit isn't scary, just lame as fuck. An over exaggerated amount of blood doesn't bother me, I bleed every month. Why am I supposed to be freaked out at this?
I'm just sick of this "dumb it down as much as possible" culture. So fucking sick of it. Do people even go to libraries anymore? I went to the library in Vista for the first time to get a library card since I packed up my book case and realized I'd read every book on it more than once. And the place was like deserted. It was weird. I remember back in Van Nuys I used to go to the library and see people all over the place. Most people waiting in line to use the computers, but still there were people reading.
I've gone months without tv, and it hasn't really bothered me at all, because I've found that I spend more time reading, and trying to find things that actually entertain me rather than just clicking my brain off. I'm not gonna say I don't miss tv because I do. I miss those random ass segments of WW2 on the history channel, and Maury, and the Tyra Banks show, and Meerkat Manor. Those Meerkats are fucking awesome, but I also feel that I do better without. I've been reading too much BBC online because this point I'm generally afraid for the entire future of the world.
It's like I'm sitting here inside my bubble of my life, and all of this chaos is going on around me that I don't even know about. I don't really know how to put this into words, knowing me I'll make it sound completely stupid and ridiculous. But I'm tired of people speaking for me, in a way. I'm tired of representatives I didn't vote for making decisions that effect my life. I know it's entirely impossible to live a life that doesn't involve some form of government. But more often than not I find myself just wanting to live in the middle of an island somewhere, and not be involved with the shit that people start. The people who decided to declare war aren't the people fighting it, that bugs me. California choosing to ban gay marriage bugs me because it makes me look bad just for living here when that's not my opinion at all.
I'm just tired of having to ride along with whatever the majority wants. The majority shouldn't be able to speak for me, but they can. The world will never be an equal place because people are always looking for a way to put themselves above someone else. Stupid, prejudice, ill informed, dim witted, easily entertained, instantly gratified, easily offended, lazy, selfish morons.
