'Ryan' Viewers Complain to FCC -- Groups affiliated with the American Family Assn., a conservative Christian group that monitors the airwaves, pledged Thursday to flood the FCC with complaints about the language and violence in Steven Spielberg's film.

However, from what they told their membership, this is what the AFA had a problem with:

We believe Saving Private Ryan accurately depicted what happens during fierce battles between two armies. The graphic depictions of atrocious injuries, mental stress, profane language, and brutality are likely common occurrences in war.

But ABC crossed the line by airing at least 20 "f" words and 12 "s" words during prime time viewing hours!

Because nobody curses during wartime. *headwall*

Oh, fuck this shit. It's perfectly okay to show some guy getting his arm blown off, but whatever you do, no bad words! *sigh* I hate people this morning.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck, shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit. Every time I say a bad word ... well, I was going to say that God kills a kitten, but I'm pretty sure God's got more important things to worry about.

(Think I cursed enough? ;))

ARGH. I so need to go to Starbucks today and write, because trying to get anything done where there's email and LJ and disaster movies and Lost fanfic I could be writing helps me not at all. Blech.

Also, Colin Powell's resigning. Not like we didn't see it coming, but still.

Got another thousand words or so done at Borders. And also had a yummy piece of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. I don't know why the hell I'm rewarding myself with cheesecake when I'm behind what I should be at for NaNo, but ... well, really. Cheesecake needs no excuses. So there.

And you'd think that writing snarky summaries for cheesy made-for-TV disaster movies would slow me down, but I actually came out of writing that last night itching to write some more. *bounces up and down happily*

EDIT: YAY! I have new airway bills to return stuff with! *waves at packages crowding the room* Goodbye! Bon Voyage! Don't forget to write! :)

*eye roll*

They just opened the area in front of the White House again in the last week, so today some guy set his belongings on fire there.

This is officially the funniest fic I've read in a week, and quite possibly the funniest HP fic I've ever read. (And for added amusement, check out the flame on the front page. Hee. What a moron.)

I've been killing time today writing down notes for The Vampires of Vandling, mostly because there's a bit in The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre that made me think about it and it just started me off. And the more comedic plotline is making fun of the whole vampire slayer cliche, so I've been trying to think up everything that pisses me off or annoys me about Buffy and Angel and the Anita Blake books and Blade. Hee. This is fun. :)

EDIT: I just heard how Anna Nicole Smith sounded last night on the AMAs. Uh ... what the hell? Was that drunk, stoned, or insane?

You know what's fun? Getting Oh-Woe-Is-Me-Ooooo into trouble. *wicked little Muttley laugh*

Now if only her stupid move didn't mean I'm going to be stuck on the phone with the DHL help desk forever and a day. *sigh*

A quote from Don from the Don & Mike Show about the FCC "Saving Private Ryan" thing ...

"It's just a word! It's like 'firetruck'. It begins with F and ends with K."

Hee. This is true. :)

Some dumbass lady just came in to ship something and seemed to be striving to drive me INSANE. I should have known she was trouble when we somehow started talking about writing, she said she was a writer, I mentioned NaNoWriMo, and when I explained to her what it was, she couldn't open her mouth fast enough to say "plagiarism" as many times as possible. Sheesh.

NO. This does not get to happen. You know why this doesn't get to happen? Because then Demolition Man will be prophetic. Do you want Demolition Man to be prophetic?! I didn't think so.
