You knew it was coming - the complaints to the FCC regarding the Super Bowl.
Federal regulators say they’ve received at least 33 comments prompted by Sunday’s Super Bowl broadcast on Fox--including several that praised the halftime show as clean, and even a few that complained about last year’s breast-baring Super Bowl broadcast.
By midday Monday, eight people had complained to the Federal Communications Commission about an ad for the Web hosting site GoDaddy.com that featured a buxom young woman who appeared in danger of baring a breast until she grasped a slipping shoulder strap. [full story]
You know what? Fuck it. I say that we round up all those fucking complaining bastards and send 'em to Amish country. No bare breasts or almost bare breasts. No erectile dysfunction commercials. Hell, no TV to complain about. Fucking bitchasses; all they'll have to worry about then is whether or not to name their kid Jebediah or Ezekiel.

Looks like we were pretty much thinking the same thing at the same time.

People aren't fucking happy unless they have something to bitch about.
On a message board I frequent, this crazy lady was all riled up about the GoDaddy commercial and wanted "HER HUSBAND TO COVER HIS EYES" WTF?! Where do I begin to say how fucked up that is? I don't tell my hubby what he can and can't watch BUT the freaking commercial wasn't even bad nor did it show anything, idiot.
As for the FCC, they should kiss ass, the show was great. Sorry went off on my own little tangent

Good god, no, no, no! Don't send them to Amish country. We've got enough pucker-butts here to contend with as it is. We don't want any more of those bastards shipped here.

There were many Bud commercials that I'm surprised people didn't complain about... I on the other hand, was very disappointed by how "safe" the half-time show was. Come on - Paul McCartney? Sure he's a great musician - but I wanted to see some T&A!

And 2 people actually called up to complain that they were bored? Un-fucking-believable. Yeah, I blew off the halftime show-I didn't really want to see Paul's nips either, but c'mon, I wasnt going to call and complain. I was hoping to see that chicks hooties. Liven things up a bit.

I agree with Karmajenn. Don't send them to this vicinity, please! I'm in Baltimore, but still, that's too close for comfort. And believe me, we already have our unfair share of Puritans around here.
On second thoughts, Karmajenn, maybe they should be shipped here, because I bet those Amish are raunchier than they appear.
Now can someone please tell me why you guys call the Superbowl winners the "world champions" when all the contenders are from here?

8 complaints against how many million viewers? What kind of percentile is that?

Have you ever seen the documentary Devil's Playground? Amish kids can party!!!
I say we send these prudes to fight in the war and let the troops who didn't get to see the Super Bowl, let alone boobies for the past year, back home.
isn't it weird that the only part of the booby that is offensive is the little brown/pink circle in the middle. That's fucked up.

Some people just aren't happy unless they have something to bitch about. Me, personally, I'd love to see a half-time show comprised of nothing but BIG GIANT INFLATABLE PENISES running around the field. Now THAT'S a half-time show!

Interesting that THREE people complained about last years Half Time show with Janet's boobie, while FIVE people complained about ads for erectile dysfunction medication with the Queer Eye guy. Fuckers.

HA! I know someone named Jedidiah! I know, not quite Jebidiah but close. Anyway, he owns the most porn out of anyone I know. Wonder if his parents know?
Posted by on 02/09 at 05:58 PM
Yeah, really. Aren't those fuckers watching tv any other time except for the superbowl?
I could have done without the women wrestling in the fountain commercial that aired a few years back though.
Heh heh, my word was "hard".

Go daddy advertised during the Super Bowl? Shit, I hope they don't raise their prices, those spots cost a crap load of money. And here I thought they were just a cheap little find of mine.
Oh and I love it when your "type word" here in the comments is "dong" ha. Makes me think of Sixteen Candles.I think his name was Long Duck Dong.
