Fox defends its decision to drop ???goddamn??? from its Emmy broadcast on Sunday night, and issued a statement yesterday that said:
Some language during the live broadcast may have been considered inappropriate by some viewers. As a result, Fox???s broadcast standards executives determined it appropriate to drop sound during those portions of the show.
Thanks for your consideration! By the way, most versions of Microsoft Word come with a thesaurus, which can be helpful if you ever need to use appropriate and inappropriate in a two sentence span.
The New York Times sympathizes with Fox???s reserve. The paper runs its own blind item for the curse Katherine Heigl mouthed:
Perhaps the most surprising bit of censorship came as Ms. Heigl mouthed a curse word normally associated with frustration or disgust when she was announced as the winner of an Emmy for her role on ABC???s Grey???s Anatomy.
Our thoughts on all of this is an eight letter word that comes out of a bull.
No. 1
Mr. T says:
That censor is not a big deal. I listened to Sally. She rambled on wildly. They should have yanked her for that alone.
