That's so weird, the fact that it's not given that rating based on the ACTUAL swear words we use. Like fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

That was strangely zen.

Joseph @4, I love reading your blog. Your mixed thoughts reveal a touching demeanor. Regarding the rating system, it's not surprising that The Stranger directed by Orson Welles is considered his poorest film.

I did a cursory test of their site a few days ago and concluded their whole rating system is worthless. I checked ratings for some of the mainstream political blogs, and one of them got an NC-17 for recurring use of the word "dick." That word did indeed appear a lot on the site-- but strictly in the context of "Cheney."

My blog got an NC-17 without the word "gay". My objectionables were shit, hell, bitch, and sex.

How the hell are you supposed to write accurately about Cheney without calling him a dick? I mean, really, his face alone is the strongest argument against circumcision you could find.

If it's running by MPAA standards, then it's no surprise that it's getting dinged for "gay".

Me, I'm still trying to figure out if there's some secret kool kids klub on Seattlest. It seems like there is no one posting comments. Except me, sometimes. And yet it's apparently one of the hawttest bl0gz in Seatown.

Foo,

Seattlest is a great blog - I link to it on MY blog, and I even occasionally comment there, but it doesn't invite the sort of impulsive responses that The Stranger staff pull off on a daily basis.

Wow, I got hit for gay, sex, fuck, hurt, gun and crap.

Hurt? Seriously?

Fnarf - yeez,that's a picture that I never thought might draw itself in my mind.

It forced me into the next frame where Ol' Chud Cowl is playing peek-a-boo with me.

Chud Cowl, Chud Cowl, Chud Cowl, Chud Cowl, Chud Cowl, Chud Cowl, Chud Cowl!
