TV Smut doubles under Republicans

Study: TV Content Gets Increasingly Sexual
By Jesus Sanchez, Times Staff Writer

The amount of sexual content on national television has nearly doubled since 1998, with nearly 70% of all programs containing some sex scenes or related language, according to a study released today.

Sexual context, including talk about sex and scenes of kissing and depictions of sexual behavior, was even more commonplace during evening prime time viewing hours, according to Sex on TV 4, a biennial study released today by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

2. Attention Rove: here's a gift horse diversion topic for you.

Also, call up Bill Bennett. TV smut sounds right up his, uh, alley.

4. sex sells. And they're all about da money.

Predatory Reagonomics is what we got w/chimpco. Unleashed corporations are what the American revolution was all about. We got 'em again. Will we be brave enough to provide them a "reality check"?

6. Wasn't there a couple linked politically to * who ran a porn film company?

I remember reading this a couple of years ago. Can't remember their names but it seems they lived/worked in Denver or someplace in Colorado? (or not...can't remember exactly.)

Repug party had some $ in the Ca. porn industry. He was from Texas.

10. 1998?

Wasn't that the year when, because of something that happened in Washington, all the news was about cumstains and cocksucking and cigar fucking?

Hmmm... Could be a linkage there... I remember when they started saying "ass" on TV because GHWB said he was going to "kick Saddam's ass".

13. What's the Matter With Kansas -

talks about this very subject. Smutty TV will never be cleaned under Repuke rule or momentum . . . what would they have to bait voters with? What will one of their kingpin wedge issues be besides Abortion and Gay Marriage? They conveniently use these as bait but never make any effort to do anything about it.

Because THEN, they'd have to run on what they've actually done for the average citizen making less than $200,000 per year . . . which would be shizNIT in case you were wondering.
