"Let's Face It...It's A Fricked Up World..."

TMI, this week, comes from CNN re' SNL.

Saturday night, the "new kid" Jenny Slate, in a sketch where the whole point was NOT using profanity, inadvertantly used a profanity.

The infamous F bomb, to be precise.

With a reverential nod to the more arch-conservative among us, may I offer that the world didnt come flying off it's axis just because somebody said "f" on the broadcast air.

First of all, between cable stations, premium movie channels, etc you'd have to completely eliminate television from your lives NOT to hear the word at least once per day.

And while the young lady's f paux may have been a legitimate, if minor, piece of "news" for a few minutes after it happened late Saturday night, it is, at this writing, Monday night and CNN is STILL reporting it as a headline on their news site, complete with video (furnished above).

I'd like to suggest that it's time to move on to more important issues of the day, the kind of life altering matters that broadcast media excels in shoveling at us on an hourly basis.

Like which Hollywood A lister showed up at that Kardashian chicks wedding this weekend.

As far as Jenny Slate's initiation into the high wire world of live television is concerned, I'd just say thanks to CNN and all the other "news" organizations for keeping us aware of the two syllables that rocked the world Saturday night.

But, it's Monday and now it's time to just shut the fuck up about it.
