Ahahaha. Not in regards to the display of sexuality in all its forms. (You could be referring to the tone Undertoad was using, of course, which was rather crass.) Being sensitive is one thing, being prudish is another. Feel free to debate exactly where the line between the two is drawn.

Even the archconservative European Catholic countries display sexuality (in the media and popular culture) with a much more guilt-free conscience than the US does. That includes Italy, for instance.

European network TV regularly shows full frontal nudity whenever it's deemed appropriate; censorship is only practiced on excessively violent movies etc., not sexually explicit scenes. Real-life depictions of violence are rarely censored since they are not deemed to be glorifying violence, whereas movie violence is considered to be doing just that.

The extent to which this is true varies from country to country, of course. Britain, for instance, has a 'watershed' time (either 10 or 11pm), after which all TV channels are free to show pretty much whatever they want to. I believe Channel4 actually showed Lars von Trier's "The Idiots" a couple of years ago, but cut a few seconds of full on-screen penetration. (which they then made available on their website for download). The display of homosexuality etc. is also much more relaxed in many European states. (since gay marriage is being widely accepted and implemented; also, homosexuality isn't considered a 'sin' in most EU countries, although the Catholics are predictably slow to catch on to this)

Strange, really, how being exposed to sexuality in a guilt-free context doesn't turn most people into raving sexual offenders, destroying all remnants of decency and morality. Let me re-read my Chick tracts.

X.

PS: Damn Europe, with their female heads of state, jewish prime ministers, lack of death penalty, mostly free health care for everybody, lower crime rates, lack of forced moral codes imposed on everybody, and pacifist attitudes! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!

Well maybe it has something to do with living on a wee island on the periphery! Funny the Irish having embraced the Eurozone (and its subsidies) for the past thirty years is at the brink of saying no(referendum imminent on the ratification of the Nice Treaty) to its very expansion which helped it in the first place. My embarrasment is only eclipsed by the embarrassment of our closest neighbour, doing everything to suck up to the Bush administation.

You should use the quote tags, so it doesn't look like you said something you didn't.

Like this?

Exactly.

You can see how perth mistakenly misquotes you above, because you didn't format your previous post.

There's an episode of the TV show M*A*S*H where Hawkeye is pursuing a great looking nurse, but he's also busy doing a good deed for a GI and his Korean girlfriend (setting it up so they can get married). When he finally gets back to her she wants to know where he was (and why he wasn't with her). When he tells her what he was up to she let's her displeasure show visibly. After Hawkeye questions her further she refers to Koreans as "gooks". Hawkeye, a guy who was usually portrayed as having virtually no scruples with women whatsoever, walks out on her.

I was about 13 when I saw that TV show for the first time, but I know it had an impact on me. I may never have been as successful with women as Hawkeye Pierce was but I do have my standards. Ann Coulter is way below my standards. I don't even think she's attractive. Margaret Carlson (on The Capital Gang) is more my type.

And Undertoad...THIS WAS AS FUNNY AS ANYTHING I EVER SAW ON M*A*S*H (which I think was one of the funniest shows ever on TV btw). Laugh-out-loud funny (I did several times). Thanks for leading me out of LGF hell...this forum seems a lot more hospitable.

And no. I've never met Ted Rall. Who is he?

Undertoad · 10-29-2002, 12:18 AM

frank, thanks.

The difference between LGF and here is that the community here doesn't speak with one voice and isn't encouraged to. People are here for whatever personal reasons bring them here and keep them here. If they like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. It's not because of any agenda the site has.

Ted Rall is a funny cartoonist who used to be a NYC taxi driver. He has branched out from cartooning into editorializing against US foreign policy.

Undertoad · 10-23-2003, 04:05 PM

OK, who reposted this on Harmony Central? Any Cellarites responsible, or was it just a random browser?

That was fun - I'm reading threads on this musician website, an OT thread where people are talking about Coulter, when someone posts this long rant; and as I start reading it I realize I'd read it before...and then I realize I wrote it, over a year ago...

Last time I had that experience was decades ago, when I ran the radio station in college. One day I was walking down the street when this car is driving past me blasting some song at max voume, and the song ends and goes to a station ID that I had recorded. Suddenly it's my voice blasting out of this car. Whoa!

Fine ego moments.

perth · 10-23-2003, 04:13 PM

Wasn't me, but I gotta tell ya. Every time I see her or hear her name mentioned, i think of your rant. And the thought of a handjob from her gives me the heebie-jeebies. You're sick.

breakingnews · 10-23-2003, 04:27 PM

Yes indeed, fucking hilarious.

I haven't read good non-published writing like that in quite a while. Kudos.

That was me.

I was oddly intrigued by the thought that a woman such as Ann Coulter, a prominent public figure, could have such a large, protruding Adam's apple and still quite a few men would find her attractive.

Out of curiosity I type "Ann Coulter adam's apple" into Google and your post was the 8th one from top.

Needless to say, I found it immensely funny, laughing out loud several times. I just had to repost it in HC because there are such heated discussions about Ann and her attractiveness over there. http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...hreadid=457984

Your story is frighteningly accurate. I'm hoping it's not based on real events.

Anyways, just registered, first post. Seems like a cool place. Cheers!

Undertoad · 10-24-2003, 03:35 AM

Google - is there nothing it can't do?

Well, welcome! - HC is a much bigger set of people than here, but we're cozy enough.
