Damn, Damn ,Damn

There, I said it several times. This is pathetic. Five minutes ago on The Best Darn Sports Show Ever, that's right, best Darn, they changed it for today, hah. One of the show hosts said Best Damn. The audio was immediatly cut and they were left wondering what was going on. A producer came forward and explained the situation to them, they looked pained. The camera man immediatly searched for something to focus on, finding a pie on a table.

When the audio came back on, the host said "Damn, Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. This ain't no church picnic". There was an awkward silence and then the booing of several hundred people behind him started as they realized what had just happened. Fox cut to commercial to hide what happened next. But when the commercials ended, the hosts were sitting behind a desk and talking, like nothing happened. They had been about to start a fun little game between two people, one for each team.

That kind of censorship, to protect the little ears of the little children is just pathetic. The FCC would never fine for the word Damned, that'd just be going too far. This is just evidence of self-censorship to the extreme.
