I received another silly email from the American Family Association, whose job, it seems, is to try and rule the world. I particularly liked this one because they want everyone to get all mad about Diane Keaton's slip-up the other day on Good Morning America. Here is the point that I pose: this is a morning show. Kids are at school in the morning. And even if a kid is home for some reason, I can pretty much guarantee that they aren't watching GMA. Period. Get over it, AMA. The network screwed up, it was kind of funny. No one was hurt. Let's move on to more important issues like ending this expensive war or talking about how funny the last episode of Family Guy was. Come on now.
From my email:
"ABC allows f-word during Good Morning America show
File a complaint with the FCC against ABC and your local station for airing the f-word.
Dear Mark,
This past Tuesday (Jan. 15), ABC network broadcast stations aired "Good Morning America." During the course of the program, ABC affiliates chose to broadcast actress Diane Keaton's blatant use of the f-word. Transcript of interview with Diane Sawyer:
Keaton: "Those lips, I love them. I would like to have lips like that. Then I wouldn't have worked on my f---ing personality. Excuse me, my personality. If I had lips like yours, I'd be better off. My life would be better. I would be married. I have these thin lips."
Sawyer: "My mother is going to work on your personality with soap in your mouth."
ABC and your local station have been warned about allowing the f-word on the public airwaves. The network could have easily muted the obscenity. But it chose not to. The network stations purposely chose to violate Federal and FCC law by airing the program. Here is your opportunity to make the networks more sensitive to your concern. Please file a complaint with the FCC against ABC stations for the broadcast of indecent language. "
