This Week In Unnecessary Censorship: Matt Lauer, Peyton Manning And Others Tell The FCC To F@#k Off (VIDEO)

First Posted: 04/08/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 04:25 PM ET

Jimmy Kimmel is no fan of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the regulatory body in charge of policing the airwaves. Mocking them in his segment, "This Week In Unnecessary Censorship," he takes normal every day language and uses censorship to make it seem lewd or inappropriate.

This week, Jimmy gave the DADT debate a new twist, provided some insights into Peyton Manning's pre-game ritual, and let a groundhog show off the goods.

"This Week In Unnecessary Censorship"

Huffpost could publish an encyclopedia of their censored comments.

I've lost many a good line too. Most no worse than PG13 [IMHO]

"This video contains content from Jimmy Kimmel who has decided to block it in your country"

Hey, what's with this anyway, I'm an American working overseas, and getting tired of this always coming up. It's nonsense really....

Jimmy probably doesn't actually know this but just the same.

Same formula. Same set of predictable responses. Whee.

That said, that football bit was well warped. I might just be speaking as a total non-fan of Gridiron Football, though.

Is it time for this tired subject again? OK, I'll type what I always type when you run this drivel.

It is height of irony when HP talks about ANYONE unnecessarily censoring anything.
