[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' date=\'Jul 5 2003, 07:27 PM\'] Last night, Comedy Central ran "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" -- a cartoon that flirted with an NC-17 rating for outrageous language and nearly pornographic visuals -- exactly as it aired in the theaters. [/quote]
I think, however, it should be pointed out that in no time zone did SP:BLU air prior to midnight, well past the accepted bedtime of anyone who maybe shouldn't be seeing that sort of stuff. In most time zones it doesn't air until 1, which means they have time to knock out an entire titty movie on Showtime or Skinemax before SP came on.
And, for that matter, if a parent thinks their kid shouldn't be seeing that sort of stuff, then perhaps said parent should take more of an interest in their child's TV viewing habits.

Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with someone playing on multiple game/reality shows. In fact, sign me up. What's the big deal? Why SHOULD anyone care?

There is no big deal, although there are those people around here who collect data of contestants appearing on multiple shows.

Those people, IMO, need to get out more.
Jimmy Owen:
The shows have rules against the practice, so somebody must think it's important. I think too the audience would get tired of seeing the same old (albeit photogenic) faces on these shows. Would a professional contestant have an unfair advantage over first time contestants? All of the AI folks could go to Star Search. The rejected suitors on \"The Batchelorette\" could become \"Mr. Personality.\" Meanwhile there people who want to get on the show who don't make the tryout just because the guy who made it lied about being on another show. Maybe he could go on \"Cheaters.\"
