Fuck those guys for going after Buffy!

Naturally, my favorite TV show was one that had a onslaught of nasty letters from conservative Christian assholes. If they ever try to make witchcraft a crime again, my guess is that they're coming after me first.

As an example, he points to figures from the FCC: In 2000, commissioners received 111 complaints about 101 shows. Last year, they fielded 240,350 complaints, most of them about only nine programs, all of which were targeted on the group's website. (Sample wording: "Flood the FCC with thousands of indecency complaints." "Your urgent action is needed!" "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Mocks Christian Faith During Holy Week.")

My favorite part of this post is a quote from Brent Bozell:

Lost in the hype over the wildly overpublicized finale of "Friends" was its legacy: horny sex chat is now part of the family hour. Because of "Friends," parents now have the unwelcome opportunity to explain (or more likely, dance around explaining) things like premature ejaculation to grade-schoolers.

Yeah, it's nearly as fun as trying to explain it to your wife, huh, Brent?
