There was a whole episode of South Park devoted to this discussion of how S&P & the FCC regulate the vulgarity. Like I said, there is little the FCC can outright do to CC vs. NBC/CBS/etc…but they do take and receive complaints and act as a clearinghouse with some legal backing to maintain order since cable still uses…

That's not really that bad since arguably the Burton/Schumacher series are still dealing in one batverse considering the motif and lack of rehashing villains. So we're only averaging a new batman movie every 4 years (though the large gap between Batman and Robin & Batman begins of 8 years).

After reading the complaints there are a few fairly mundane but honest ones in there. All of them are adult commercial bleeds (condoms and sex toy commercials running in the normal morning hours) which isn't all that bad, but it really doesn't belong on small children tv channels for practical reasons.

That's not wholly accurate. They have limited authority to set obscenity rules compared to 'over air' broadcasters. But the general rules followed are ones set by the FCC, intervening state obscenity statues, and a mixture of other controls. That's why we have 'post-watershed hours' which allow for relaxed…

I know…late to the party….But this episode is by no means a reset. Confusing it as such really leads to why it ends up as a C. The problem for the first 4 episodes is that they simply have no time to investigate, each episode is taking place over maybe a day or two (possibly three). It's open and shut before…

Southern California is a desert that happens to have some rivers. It's a semi-arid plain coming off the Rockies. The irrigation developed in the early 20th century made Southern California a place to be.

I actually prefer right-wing trolls rather the self-righteous losers that seem to rage with their keyboards on AVC. You mind as well keep sucking on your latte and pronounce more normative responses. I understand that 'wit' is what passes for intellect around AVC but your hold on the claim is tenuous at best.

Says the one who started out with strawman accusations and an ad hominem attack. Anyways, unless you care to up the ante and claim you're Wyatt Cenac yourself, I don't care.

Cool story, troll, cool story. When you're down to 'you don't understand the words you're using' that's pretty much my sign you've lost any sense of coherence within your trolling. Thanks for trying, it was fun to watch you struggle to pin this on me, you wouldn't be the first one to try. But you're entitled to…

Ah and we end with that, the defined concept that because I don't agree 100% with Cenac I'm not ignoring his position all together. Classy move to finish it, troll. It's funny to watch how you're dancing it around, trying to find a safe angle that doesn't actually provide any real context to your argument but…

Cool story, troll. With that it's clear you have no actual argument but simply came here to say because I 'defended' Jon Stewart (which is at best a laughable scenario) I suffer a major case of white privilege. So basically you have nothing further to say or are worth listening to because any constructive discussion…

Wow, this is amazing how you're intentionally painting a strawman that willfully ignores all concepts of race to keep yourself above the fray.

Thanks for your opinion and then your psycho-analysis of my argument presented as if you had any introspection on my position.

This story has been cropping up in a few places now it all seems to be an issue less with race and more with two seriously talented individuals and their egos. Nobody wants to be shut out of a conversation and Cenac may have had a point (though I would point out that Cain sounds like that and really he played off as…

With the invention of practically instant communication there is no real argument that any president needs to be in Washington to do X. It's just a cliche argument meant to cause rage and presume because the president is doing something they find distasteful they get in a huff.

They're really in a different category all together from mainstream broadcasters in that once they produce it they can run it whenever they want. The current issue for the two big ones (Netflix and Amazon) is that they have a limited income (though vast) that is relatively inflexible. They don't get a sweeps week…

and you're the one who originally made the argument of being 'pro-entrepreneur' so can we just stop pretending either of us is a neutral observer?

Rational? Only if the concept of money, value, private property, and a complex monetary lending system already exist that allows for it be viewed. Please note, 'reasonable' isn't a great definition since most of the world runs on a modified form of socialism from extremes in Scandinavia to minimalists in US and…

That is kind of how perception works. I'm using accepted definitions of communitarian. I mean the whole definition of it is that it goes beyond the family unit. Pixar is verging on rugged individualism or intimate relationships, but has little support for communal behaviors. It's a policy of 'do no harm' but also…

Communitarian does not mean you can't have friends, it means you don't rely on a community which is really only seen in Bugs Life which was an ensemble cast. Otherwise most of the stories are about finding your individualism while relying on some friends but mostly just doing it on your own.
