Americans are typically violent. Why is it that 9 times out of 10 it is Americans who start brawls? barbaric people these Americans are. Is it a coencidence that the country is always at some war with someother country? I think not.

Guilty as charge. Lots of Americans are violent people.

It’s typical for someone to say Americans are violent…. funny though, I would like to see what happens when that same dumb ass gets hit by a 90mph fast ball and see how “peaceful” they feel after that. Barbaric…? who even uses that kind of word anymore? It has to be a Brit… oops was that another generalization…..

Speaking as someone who definitely prefers nipples to slit throats, I should nevertheless point out that the slit throat isn’t real, and the nipple is, which is why the skit throat can be shown. Of course that makes you wonder if Marge Simpson can be shown naked – but since an Australian court recently ruled that cartoons are people, perhaps not….

Well if you can’t show something real and natural on TV, then why do we have so many live-action actors?

The reality of it has nothing to do with the imagery presented. Which one would you rather have your own child see? Natural nipples (which, by the way, everyone has), or pretend-but-as-realistic-as-possible-probably-overkill violence?

I’m not even saying violence shouldn’t be on TV. Just trying to figure out why a nipple is so offensive for so many Americans, yet violence isn’t (based on media content).

Well, if it’s pretend, you can always say that it’s pretend. There’s still a line there.

“Well if you can’t show something real and natural on TV, then why do we have so many live-action actors?”

This is not what I said.

WOW, that is pretty damn funny. Love the music that went along with it.

Nice generalization. It’s so nice that you can judge a whole country based on a goofy baseball clip.

Well, I always say if you don’t want a brawl, don’t throw the fucking baseball at me. It’s pretty simple really.
The pitcher running away like a rabbit from a hound is priceless.
