Good to know that our brave soldiers are supposed to now belong to John Ashcroft's Sunday School. Gone are the poetically profane leathernecks of former generations. And I'm so entirely sure that none of the Continental Army, crossing the Deleware, without shoes, ever cursed, or used the word, shite.
PBS Warns Stations of Risks From Profanity in War Film
PBS has warned its stations that it cannot protect them against indecency sanctions if they broadcast an unedited profanity-laced version of a documentary about a United States Army regiment in Baghdad as it faced insurgent attacks leading up to the Iraqi elections, producers of the documentary said yesterday.
The documentary, “A Company of Soldiers,” was produced by Front- line, a production of WGBH, the public television station in Boston, and is scheduled to be broadcast on Tuesday night. The Public Broadcasting Service will offer its stations both an edited and an unexpurgated version, as it commonly does with programs that have content that might be objectionable in some parts of the country.
Crazily we tip-toe our merry way towards theocracy.
