Elmo Kids

Jimmy Kimmel is no fan of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the regulatory body in charge of policing the airwaves. So each week he does a segment called "This Week In Unnecessary Censorship," that takes normal every day language and makes it seems lewd by bleeping out words or phrases. As a result everything from "American Idol" to Elmo comes out dirty...and hilarious.

This week, Jimmy looked at incest on reality television, some inappropriate talk of police dogs on local news, and stripping on live TV. It's all pretty disturbing for a Saturday morning.

It's a private site. Not the gov. They have the right to censor all they want. You agree to their terms when you sign up. Free Speech is only protected from gov interaction.

But yeah, sometimes I think it's stupid too (blame the people who openly joked of Cheney being killed).

Every time there was a story on Cheney (when he was veep), I'd go to the comments section and it would already be closed. Can't blame HuffPo on that one.

Hm, ironic that I was defending HP's right to censor, and it says my comment is pending. LOL

I was reminded of when the first moving "Tickle Me Elmo" was being profiled as one of the new hot toys for Christmas. One of the news anchors poked Elmo's belly and the doll fell face down just as it started convulsing and shouting "that feels funny". The female co-anchor literally fell off her chair.
