Don't Say The F-Word Part 2

I like how HBO decided that since they don't really have much of a reason to be the "Home Box Office" anymore, since our sattelite companies already have a monopoly on the "cheating us out of our money for movies" business, they've decided that they're just going to be "the swearing channel". Have you ever watched a show on HBO? It's basically like watching something on a different channel, except they just drop a whole bunch of gratuitous f-bombs for no reason whatsoever, as if half the dialogue was written by a bunch of cheeky third graders.

And then you get people like Bill Maher, who seems to be trying very hard to have a good political talk show, and then occasionally he remembers that he's on HBO, so he'll throw like twelve swear words into one sentence to make up for the past hour. And the guests almost never swear, because they don't have a contract that dictates that they have to offend at least three different grandmothers per episode to stay on the air.

Of course, this is mostly just the result of every other channel being run by massive pussies. Or rather, the FCC being run by massive pussies. Or rather, the entire planet being populated by massive pussies.
