Or maybe that's just too obscure a reference? Sheesh.

And believe me, British humo(u)r is anything but stuffy. We are far more tolerant, far less easily offended and have far more relaxed rules on what you can and can't say. Not to mention being far less litigious about people 'taking the piss' as we like to say over here.

They show stuff over here Americans could only dream of seeing on tv. Not that they'd get it anyway ;)


Funny... I don't really dream of seeing anything on t.v. About the only thing I dream of doing to a t.v. is blasting it with a shotgun, but you can't do that there. :D

You've been able to say "fuck" on TV here for decades now. "Cunt" is still a little problematic, but it gets into newspapers.

Compare the US "Queer As Folk" to the UK "Queer As Folk"....

It should replace Richard and Judy. Waking up to Jonathan Ross while Four Poofs and a Piano play in with 'Its a Gay New Day' has gotta be better than being forced to watch that ugly bint.

Lol. Is this going to get into a fight? We were simply remarking that Americans always seem surprised what they can get away with on prime time tv. It's not our fault your American stars are ignorant about international broadcasting regulations!

They say cunt quite a bit here on tv. Especially on Channel 4. They're kinda famous for it. By contrast, you're not supposed to say it on these forums.

LOL. Funny... the only thing I want to do with Gallager is bang bash him with a gun-powered mallet that renders health insurance expired.

I was trying to keep the thread on topic. So it follows that we'd want to make remarks they can come and indignantly claim as racist in a while.

If you really want it to explode, you should be like "me sucky! 5 dollah! me luv you long time!". Or do the "one business girl" bit. Guaranteed to provoke angry responses.

Also, state that you're looking for angry responses, even in jest, and you'll get people telling you that's an admission of trolling and AR you with their evidence. But that's sort of offtopic.

Someone go necropost some 6 months old threads about the current hot topics, will ya?
