sounds like it's a bit too late to do something if it gets that far.

(BTW.. it appears that lewd comments about JR's girl are allowed! Or maybe just lewd desires. At any rate keep the mom out of your dirty, dirty thoughts.. focus on the hot girlfriend.. RRRAWRR!)

we've purged some users for racism, but in general we try to stay out of mediating internal disputes between users. We are not now nor do we ever want to be the decider's of acceptability. We're all pretty liberal, over zealous comment policing falls on the wrong side of the censorship line. Yes sometimes people go to far, but in general that's a bad way to make friends, and people that frequently cross that line have dwindling returns on their input to the site.

In short we don't really do it because there hasn't bee a need for it. When it gets to the point where every other user is discussing my mother and their lewd desires for her then maybe we'll take another look, for the time being everybody seems to be perfectly pleasant for the most part.

That just great for you...but the FCC doesn't need to be involved for you to decide what you will watch and listen to or not. In my opinion Brian Regen is great...but so is South Park. Saying someone has to be funny without cursing is like saying someone like Britney Spears has to perform without lip syncing. That should be the viewers call and not the FCC.

Stupid Liberals: Pushing for bigger government.

Stupid Conservatives: Keeping the FCC alive.

Remember this one, poor Tom, he faced quite the non-linear onslaught, and started to nut......! Lived in Dallas when the Sex Pistols came...they made the front page of the Times Herald, their arrest for lewd behavior, public intox, spitting on fans....then came the 80's, and the U.S. Punk scene....fueled by the fast-burning flame of doom, Sid Vicious, and Texas was a big part of it, since they left such a mark.....

I know this is a little lewd for Videosift, but I've never laughed so hard at a parody. Well... maybe at the Lord of The Rings MTV parody with Jack Black.

Ich have nevir heard of thys gentil yclept Bill Bailey, but he is mooste humorous in his tale of dronken revelrie.

"Three fellows wenten into a pubbe,
and gleefully their hands did rubbe,
in expectacion of revelry,
for twas the hour known as happy.

Great bottles of wine did they quaff,
and hadde a really goode laff,
'till drunkenness held full dominion,
for 'twas two for the price of one.

Yet after wine and meade and sack,
man must have a massive snack,
great pasties from Cornwall,
Scottish eggs, round like a ball.

Great hams, quail, duck and geese,
they sucked the bones and drank the grease.
One fellow stood all pale and wan,
for he was a vegiterian.

Yet man knoweth that gluttony stoketh the fire of lechery,
upon three young wenches round and sly the fellows cast a wanton eye,
One did approach with drunken wink,
'allow daaahlin – you fancy a drink?

Soon they court them on their knee – 'twas like some grotesque puppetry,
such was the lewdness and debauchery 'twas like a sketch by Dick Emery,
Except Dick Emery is not yet born,
so that comparison may not be drawn.

But then the fellows began to pale,
for Quale are not the friend of ale,
And in their bellies much confusion,
from their throats, vile extruision!

Stinking foul coruption,
came spewing forth from drooling lips,
the fettid stench did fill the pubbe,
'twas the very arse of Belzibubbe.

Thrown they were, from the Whore and Trumpet,
In the street, no coin, no strumpet,
homeward bound must quickly go,
and to that end, a donkey stole.

Their hands all with vomit greased,
the donkey – was not pleased,
and threw them into a ditch of shite,
they all agreed – "what a brilliant night!"
