What Ass Rammer, Spooge, and Jesus Christ Have in Common
Broadcast execs deal with the new and improved indecency regs and discover five dirty words you can't say on South Park -- and some you can:
Gone:
Asshole
Spooge
Goddamnit
Jesus Christ!
Ass Rammer
Still There:
Ass
Boner / Prick
Punk-ass Bitch
Son of a Bitch
Butt-holes
Says one exec of how the clean up is going: Dialogue that has nothing to do with the storyline is easy, "But if they are having a seven-minute discussion of putting a penis into a vagina, I don't know how to keep it."
There goes the Cialis sponsorship! Speaking of: Sex and the City also faces the prospect of shriveling into a unappetizing empty sac of its former self, as "entire plot lines [revolve] around some high-wattage sex issue." Demurs an TBS/TNT veep: "Even if we cut 8%, it's still 92% Sex and the City. . . It's not about the sex and the language, it's about the women." Guess he's saying people read it for the articles. Whatever. After all, if they're censoring on the grounds of taste, are there going to be any shots of Sarah Jessica Parker left?
