DAILY SHOW SCHIZOPHRENIA.
External link:
On Wednesday night, on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the censors repeatedly bleeped out the word "bush", as used by Rosie Perez to refer to her own genitalia-- even though that's the name of the President of the United States, and even though Comedy Central has a program on that network called, "That's my Bush". But then Thursday night, they let Laurence Fishburne use the word "pussy" repeatedly without bleeping it. Seriously, what's the principle that guides the decision to bleep out one whimsical euphemism, but not, in my opinion, a more graphic and course one? And, really, what did they think the name of the show "That's my Bush" was supposed to mean?
This is The Official Record.
