Why We Shouldn’t Watch TV 3



Finally, O’Reilly. For those of you not hip to this, Douglas Vanderlaan has spent the last three years trying to get Bubba The Love Sponge taken off the air. The guy should thank this ignoramus, because if it weren’t for him, I doubt most of us would have have heard of Mr. Sponge.

Anyway, here he is on O’Reilly last night , edited down a bit for space. Notice his explanation as to how he just happened to find himself listening to Bubba’s show one morning. Not to cast aspersions on this useless, syphilitic whoremaster’s character (Just kidding , Doug) , but it seems to us that the only people who feel the need to offer up such amazingly convoluted explanations are invariably hiding something. (“Well, see, there was a power outage, and I opened the window because it was hot and the airconditioner was off, and my next door neighbor had put a magazine on his window sill and when the power came back, his fan turned on, and blew the magazine into my apartment, and that’s how the latest issue of Cum Chugging Nuns In Bondage ended up on my sofa.”) He then falls back on the usual defense for opposing speech, the old, “I respect free speech, but there must be responsibility” jazz. What about taking responsibility for not listening to idiotic shock jocks named Bubba The Love Sponge? Did we miss the meeting where they took away our ability to turn off the fucking radio? (By the way, our REAL theory as to how this poor schmuck ended up listening to Bubba was that he was trying to fill the dead air left by the previous week's cancellation of NAMBLA's morning drive time show. (Heh heh. Just kidding again ).

Which brings us to the REAL question – What if a child was watching this? What if some kid who had yet to learn the ways of the world saw this creep on TV and was forever altered by his dishonesty, his hypocrisy, and his complete lack of morals, values and ethics? Shouldn’t we be able to take this to the FCC? Any attorneys out there who want to help, we’d love to hear from you. Seriously. Let’s sue this prick.
