Hrmm, you should watch the content that you put up.
This is questionable.

It aired on national TV, I don't see how "questionable" it could be. GROSS, yes. But I wouldn't call it "adult" by any stretch of the imagination.

Yea, I have to agree. It aired on TV, continues to in repeats, and is freely available on the internet. There is zero nudity and no foul language. No worse than anything found in most prime time television nowadays. There are episodes of Friends which are more ''questionable'' than this. If anything, it is thinly veiled adult humor which would be lost on those who wouldn't already have access to such content.
It is so indirect I don't even think the FCC could make up a plausible reason to fine it, although I am sure they would spare no expense, with tax payers money of course, to try if the mood strikes them. But I guess someone could write to Powell and the FCC and see what he says.

I find it hard to believe that you don't see this as "mature content"...

At what time, Midnight? I doubt any youngin's are up to see it...
A simple "Warning: Mature Content" on these posts would satisfy me...

Again it is fairly indirect humor the likes of which can EASILY be seen before midnight, as can ''The Man Show itself''. And if you have any doubts that the ''youngin's'' see, hear, read and talk about things that make this pale in comparison you may be a bit of the mark.
But a Warning is a terrific idea and I have no problem at all going ahead and putting one up. Poof � it is done.

Well, I don't doubt that there are some that do. Heck maybe even the majority do. Maybe it's time for another "age" poll! :wink:

Thanks. I really don't have a problem with the clips, but without any word on the issue from TPTB, we can err on the side of caution. Anyway, a little warning never hurt anyone...

In general I'd prefer not to see such adult-themed things posted to these forums. It made me laugh, but that's not the point. ;-) And just because it was on late-night TV doesn't mean it's not adult-themed. There are a lot of things on TV that I wouldn't want to see in these forums.
Keep our PG-13 rating in mind and we won't have any problems here. ;-)

In this day and age, I'd say the thread just makes the PG13 cut.
But my comment? If only Bill Clinton had a bottle of protein remover handy a couple of years ago :roll:

The content is questionable when looking at that fine line that distinguishes those less than 13, and those above 13 years of age.
However, with abundant warnings present in the title, those that get offended by the content accessed it at their own risk. I'm fine with what I see, but those young ones may not be.
All in all however, I laughed - and that's what I'm looking for on a dull night. :lol:
