NBC anchor Brian Williams has acknowledged that he refused to allow the word "masturbate" to be used in a report about the Michael Jackson trial on NBC Nightly News this week. In an interview with the Associated Press, Williams said that viewers "can read the m-word in their morning newspaper, and they can see it again on no fewer than five cable television channels. ... It ain't our dance."

Dear Brian Williams, I don't give a damn if you use the word "masturbate" as long as it's grammatically correct. You know, as in the opposite of "ain't."

EDIT: I really want to pick up a new DVD before the weekend, but then again, Tuesday marks the release of both Finding Neverland (which I've already got reserved) and the deluxe edition of Stand By Me. Man, am I glad I still don't have Stand By Me yet. *covets*

HEADSMACK OF EDIT: Just to make my sorry attempt to finish Monsters of Minooka as soon as possible that much more difficult, I'm adding at least one new scene to beef up a character who becomes important in The Walking Dead of Wilkes-Barre and was supposed to have a bigger part in this story. Except I'm rock stupid and forgot. So now, more writing. *smacks self in the head*

So... what did he say instead?
And does he know that he's drawing MORE attention to it by wanking about it like this?

I like to think it must have been the stupidest euphemism he could come up with, like, "Jackson's accuser said that Jackson led him into the bedroom and waxed his dolphin, then reached over, undid the accuser's zipper, and --"

Okay, so maybe I don't want to finish that sentence.

Waxed his dolphin? *snorfle* Tickled the pickle? Polished the ol' flag pole? Turned Japanese?
