MSNBC to Launch ‘Fucking Joe’
MSNBC to Launch ‘Fucking Joe’

Scarborough's Show in Porned-up Format

Just minutes after "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough dropped an F-bomb live on the air, MSNBC announced that it was re-launching the show to capitalize on its star's salty vocabulary.

"Starting on Tuesday, MSNBC's morning show will be known as 'Fucking Joe,'" said MSNBC spokesperson Carol Foyler. "We want to send the message that if you tune in to this show, you'll get a unique mix of breaking news and XXX-rated chat."

MSNBC's decision to reformat the show to accommodate Mr. Scarborough's weakness for expletives surprised many in the cable industry, especially since the show owes its origins to the cancellation of shock-jock Don Imus' ill-fated morning program.

1. Joe seems a little cranky.
I wonder if something could be bothering him.

2. I posted a video rant here recently...
...one, maybe two days after the election. Scarborough was wound pretty tight, ranting about how it's not fair that President Obama and a Democratic Congress / House might not give Republicans everything they want. He basically characterized the new administration as an attack on Republicans.

He's a spoiled, whiny little Republican who...if we are lucky...is very, very close to his "nappy headed ho" moment. MSNBC dumped Imus when the heat got too hot in the kitchen. Maybe Joe "Fuck" Scarborough will feel some of that same heat.

10. There's a lot of that going around lately.
For example, this article was written by N. Gregory Mankiw, former Chairman of GWB’s Council of Economic Advisors and current visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He thinks Obama will be a reliable steward of the economy if he adopts some Republican ideas. How the hell would he know?

He and his pals at the AEI can prattle on all they like, but guess what? Their ideas didn’t work out so great and nobody cares what they think anymore.

Dr. Mankiw is not alone in longing for those glory days of yesteryear, when the AEI’s recommendations were adopted as federal policy, the country was center-right and always would be, and we had Republican presidents who were real cowboys. But too bad for him, elections have consequences.

4. It's the constant, annoying sound of his pea-brain rolling around in his enormous skull.
Said brain is exactly the size of his eyes.


Anthropologists recontruct Joe's skull

13. WHERE exactly did you find this piece?!
As a sculptor I demand access to it, I WANT one :)

I've been on Scarborough's show twice and as I recall his skull looked very much like this pic :)

5. Oh noes, not the 'F'-word!!! What on Earth are we to do?!
Please, save the poor little children, dump this horrible foul mouthed man from television before he causes the downfall of our clean and sacred society!

Now I shall spend the next hour praying to Jesus in order to cleanse my soul from the word I have just witnessed being uttered on television, and I expect all other good Christians to do the same...

9. South Park
I hope South Park gets ahold of this.

I'd love to see a Joe Happy Fucker song created.

Maybe a special episode created and only aired at 1 a.m. EST.

Probably seems crazy, but South Park has always been about taking stuff to the extreme that otherwise is left along.

I mean, Gore is still asked about ManBearPig to this day!

This blatant Fuck Up of Joe's is a gift I would think South Park couldn't resist.

11. Sounds like something you'd find on the Spice Network, not MSNBC. {nt}

12. The reaction by everybody on the show was hilarious
Brainless Mika was especially strange, as if the viewers had never heard the word before.

14. Some of his viewers probably haven't
Ever read the posts over in Freeperland? Some of those idiots can't even say "ass" without using alternative characters (i.e. "@$$") let alone say "shit" or "fuck" or anything like that.
