Seth was pilloried for lampooning Murrikkka's grade school obsession with breasts

in a room full of women who have no problem baring their wares on the red carpet. ( I have no problem with the ladies using what they were blessed with to get what/where they need ) But the hypocrisy we were "treated" to here was pitiful. Hollywood lives on sex and violence, and I'll take more sex and less violence any day of the week. It brought to mind one of McFarlane's better lines about Jody Foster taking the stage in front of a billion viewers to plead for her privacy......... I'll donate to Ms. Judd as soon as she declares.

The responses are hilarious.... "the commie L.A. Times"

has been a worthless tool of the corporate right for about five years now, since they purged the staff of about 90% of their actual journalists. It's a pitiful shell of a once fine paper. Boy, the nutters are just making that Bubble bigger and thicker....

After years of painstaking independent research I can report only one worrisome side effect...

Occasional weight gain due to excessive late night snacking. These effects, like so many other problems, are easily countered with a regime of regular aerobic exercise. In my case, bicycling a few times a week in the mountains near my home does the job.

Tell me, who compared you to a child abuser?

And why am I "self righteous" for not having the television on in my home every day? Sounds like someone's just a tad insecure about their work. If you choose to let your kids watch the Oscars that's your prerogative, but don't get out the fainting couch when your industry, that lives on sex and innuendo, has an award show that contains as much. Pay attention, and you'll realize I'm on YOUR side. I believe in freedom of expression, that TV/Film producers should do as they please, and that parents should take an active roll in determining what's appropriate for young children to be exposed to. I'm still having trouble with the No TV = Self Righteous Superiority thing..... please, enlighten me Mr/Ms. "Award Winning Team"

Indeed, You Tube "Bush fool me once"....

There's one minute and a half version that has about a dozen of his greatest hits..... always makes me laugh/cry....

Your friend should be fine.

I grew up 2 doors down from an auto body shop. The had a German Shepherd yard dog, and I remember one of the guys feeding him chicken bones on a regular basis. He'd crunch em' up like candy, and come back for more. That dog lived to be old and gray, I'm betting yours will too.

If you're letting your young children watch the Oscars, you/the kids have bigger problems than Seth.

I would think those living rooms it was "beamed" to also have an OFF SWITCH, no?
Let me ask a hypothetical question; When one of those hideous cases of abusive parents who lock their kids in a closet for hours/days /years comes to light, do you call for the elimination of closets in all houses?, or for the carpenters who built those closets to be pilloried? How about some good old-fashioned parental responsibility? In my home, we have no cable or broadcast television, only a DVD player to watch programs we personally select. My 2nd grade daughter is currently reading at an 8th grade level, and is already a proud feminist, who's been raised to take no disrespect from anyone. After dinner we take walks, have conversation/music/reading. If you're looking to Hollywood to raise your kids you have a lifetime of disappointment ahead...

The Herald also found several recyclables in his trash cans...

Next we'll find out he wasn't outraged at Macfarlane's Oscars gig..

Macfarlane was LAMPOONING HOLLYWOODS/AMERICAS OBSESSION WITH BREASTS

In a room full of people who make their living selling "sex appeal". It must be hell going through life without a functioning sense of humor. I thought he was great, juvenile at times, but mostly funny and sang and danced quite well for a comedian. Mostly, I'm appalled that anyone sits through this annual wank-fest. I only youtubed it over the "controversy" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
P.S. there are 2 controls on your remote that would solve this "outrage", one is the channel button, the other is the ON/OFF switch. Learning to use them might help you get through the trauma of Seth Macfarlane singing about boobs......
