The Golden Globes yesterday displayed Hollywood’s increasingly coarse contribution to culture again this year as Ricky Gervais dropped an F-bomb during the show’s broadcast. Evidently drinking, he told the AP how delighted he was to have: “a job where you can get drunk and say what you want and they still pay you.”
In our youth, during the now ancient 1960s, public profanity was rarely evident. Our parents could take us to out to dinner or we could watch TV without being abused by other people’s indecent language. Today, strolling through a park or an evening out is routinely interrupted by people describing in coarse language human defecation or sexual activities. Often the offending language is shouted out or used repeatedly in sentence after sentence as obviously vocabulary-challenged speakers struggle to express themselves. These profane words are used as nouns, verbs, adjectives and even adverbs.

OBOZO'S BUDDIES, THROUGH and THROUGH!!!!
Kenny you are so right these are the same idiot that keep him in money.They are the only ones who are willing to pay so much to have dinner with him.God forbid he tells them to straighten out.
I watched the Golden Globes, an awful lot of the words were bleeped. Don't know why Ricky Gervais did not drop the "F" bomb on Obama. HE CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE. OF COURSE YOU KNOW THAT THE GOLDEN GLOBES ARE THE HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS. THAT RIGHT THERE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO CANCEL THE SHOW. IF THE HOLLYWOOD FOREIGN PRESS WANTS TO HOLD A SHOW TO PRESENT THEIR (QUESTIONABLE) HONOREES, IT SHOULD NOT BE HELD IN THIS COUNTRY. AND BY THE WAY TILDA SWINTON LOOKED LIKE A REFUGEE FROM A CONCENTRATION CAMP. SHE IS SO UGLY I CAN'T THINK OF A MAN WHO WOULD WANT TO TOUCH HER WITH A 10' STICK.
THis just goes to show, Holly(ROTTEN)Wood, is just another part of this seething pot of cultural mess called tha degeneration of mankind! We used to get our mouths washed out w/soap when we spoke trash and NOW you just get paid for it and applauded! Mankind is falling at such an alarming rate and at such a pace that he can NOT stop the decent until it hits bottom! Then when he does hit bottom, guess who he will call upon to get out of the mess? Let me give you ONE guess….It will be Jesus Christ, the "ONE" who they reject and deny!! Jeremiah 33;3/Matt 11;28 KJV
