Survivor Junkies, These Moralistic Prigs Have a Problem With Your Show, Too!
Lisa de Moraes at the Washington Post:
The self-appointed watchdog group Parents Television Council has filed an indecency complaint with the Federal Communications Commission over the season debut of "Survivor: Gabon" -- ironically the first episode of this series to be broadcast in high-definition.
If you look closely at participants in a race, you see Marcus Lehman's little colonel "falling out" of his boxer shorts as he runs to the finish line, PTC reports. "The image was not obscured in any way," PTC notes in disgust. In fairness, the episode had a lot of pixelation -- just not of Lehman's male pride.
"Although this instance was brief, it was nonetheless shocking and purposeful," PTC President Tim Winter said in a statement.
Purposeful? Let's see how purposeful is defined in the dictionary:
So, wouldn't you say that Tim Winter is a lying sack of crap?
(I could have gone with another sack, considering the topic at hand.)
What he is contending is that the people on the show responsible for the pixelation didn't pixelate "Little Marcus" on purpose. Which he couldn't possibly know.
He knows that he is not capable of reading people's thoughts, so this statement makes him a liar. Because he is lying in order to achieve a self-serving goal, that makes it malicious.
And that's hardly God-like now, is it.
Don't you people have enough to do in coordination with The CW to continue promoting Gossip Girl and 90210? Can you really also promote Survivor?
