Hell no it was right after CBS news. I couldn't believe it!!

I just saw on the news where FTC is going after people using Fu-k on the TV. Big deal about that protecting kids & all. Want to increase the fine from $27500 an incident to 10 times that amount. I believe that's what they said. Then this commercial. Good thing I wasn't eating at the time!!

Wifey won't let me take my boat down south with us , say's it's to far to drag it ha ha ha . So guess i'll be useing her brothers boat . Being as we do not have a need for that kind of a product ( Tampex ) , do you think i should stop and get some in case the boat springs a leak .

Wasn't it from $750,000 to $7,500,000?

They feel that the word is out of control and they want to penalize MTV and music DJ's.

Hehe, I'm 23. I live at home because from ages 17-23 I ran a business out of my garage with my brother and a friend, and started being a full time student since 20 or 21. Now I just got to graduate.

I hadn't thought of Government applications but can see now it's viable :lol:

That's need to know info for sure!!

Alltaken might just want to think about carrying them with him on all his hiking adventures. You never know at what point your life could depend on a Tampax!!

IronMike, pick up a box of them, I know your going fishing. A must for the modern tackle box of today, it looks like to me!! I'd hate to see you swimming from a sunken boat because you neglect that 1 little detail... Course you've got to explain to your fishing buddy's why there is Tampax in your tackle box :lol:

Dude, MTV pisses me off becauses they bleep ANYTHING that might be offensive, but yet the most popular music appears to be gangsta rap where every other word is FCUK or SIHT!! I don't get it...

Kid Rock, "Cowboy".
No remorse for the sherrif, in his eye I ain't right
I'm gonna paint his town red, and paint his wife white HUH

MTV beeps out white @ the end of the second line

Limp Bizkit + Method Man, N 2 Gether Now

Hold big <font color=red>gun</font color=red> like Elmer Fudd
The sure <font color=red>shot</font color=red>
Mr. Meth I'm unplugged
Learn
Temperature's too hot for sunblock
Burn
Playin with minds can get you state time
Lock behind twelve bars from a great mind
Killa bees in the club when this ladybug
Brought a <font color=red>sword</font color=red> to tha dance floor to cut a rug
Love is love all day 'til they both slug
And take another <font color=red>life</font color=red> in cold <font color=red>blood</font color=red>

Protect land with <font color=red>both pound</font color=red>

Wu-Tang and Limp Bizkit
Roll on the <font color=red>set</font color=red>
Kick a hole in the speaker
Pull the plug and then jet

All the red words are beeped (and that isn't even all of them), but yet the chorus is below, and I don't even know why MTV plays this at all.

What's that, I didn't hear you?
Shut the fcuk up!
Come on a little louder
Shut the fcuk up!
Everybody N2 Gether now
Shut the fcuk up!
Just Shut the Fcuk up,
Just Shut the Fcuk up,

Why play these songs if you are gonna beep out half the words???

I just think it's funny because you use it so much (65 of the first 75 results this morning were by you), and where sometimes it doesn't seem to fit, like these:

Quote :

Hey, don't bad mouth ASUS, my favorite board, IMO


I mean, it's either your favorite board, or it isn't.

Quote :

According to your answers, your political philosophy is right-conservative.
Conservative
Woah!! First one IMO


Think this was where we were posting our responses to that politics poll, and you were the first one that it said was conservative, so what do you mean, IMO? Either you were the first one or ya weren't.

I compared it to alltaken's use of "LOL" because he seems to use that a whole lot, and in places where it doesn't seem to fit, too.

Yea, I see what you mean, I guess. I'm not as forum savvy as some around here, but I'm always willing to learn things. I guess your saying to make a statement instead of an opinion.

I use it a lot in my everyday conversations as well. An opinion is different in my mind than a statement that you have to defend tooth & nail like I've seen here. So I was just trying to avoid conflict, being a honest as I can & not disrespecting others thoughts.

I'll be bolder from now on & if I get in a pissing match because of it, I'll refer them to you!!! :lol:

Edit: BTW, Thanks for pointing that out. Line above is an attempt a sarcasim!! [/oh boy]

Did you hear the one about the lady that went skinny dipping at night wearing a Super Jumbo Tampax not fully inserted? The next morning when the Lifeguards showed up to clean the pool, the water was gone and there was a 50' tall ball of cotton in the pool, they heard someone screaming for help from inside the ball of cotton, so they called Fire and Rescue and they started searching in the cotton trying to locate where the screaming was coming from, news reporters arrived on the scene and asked the Firechief how the rescue efforts were going, the Firechief said, "Hell? I don't know, I just lost two men in there".


Tampax Super Jumbos, never leave home without em.


CAUTION: Don't go swimming after inserting a Super Jumbo, the Tampax corporation will not be held liable for burnt up Pool equipment, due to no water to cool them, or the Rescue charges incurred or the time invested in recovering the victim from such misuse of the product. This product is tested and confirmed to be safe.

Warning: Use At Your Own Risk!

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend, to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they had spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because both had jobs they found it difficult to coordinate their travel schedules, so it was decided that the husband would fly to
Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day.

Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. In his room there was a computer so he decided to send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and was unaware that his email was on its way to Houston, Texas.

In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. The dearly departed was a minister who had been called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife

Subject: I've Arrived

You're probably surprised to hear from me.

They have computers here, and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones.

I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you then!

Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.



P. S. Sure is hot down here!
