Is Drudge now taking on Deadwood???

[doxieone]

Is that Hooplehead Drudge deciding to take on Deadwood?

The link below is well-known to us regular folks who watch the show week after week.

But now... dear old Drudge has it on his page.

1. smudge just wants to be relevant so badly.

Can you imagine the horror if he and man-coulter had a child? She might have an adam's apple and wear a stupid hat. I"d love to see COnan do a "What if they mated" with those two.

3. I like your sig line. (nt)

[Kerrytravelers]

5. Thanks!

Here is my little secret! <http://www.clicksmilies.com/>

6. No, I meant the verbiage. It is great.

[Kerrytravelers]

15. Thanks!

2. Drudge is a loser

Deadwood is a great show. I'll ignore Drudge, and enjoy Deadwood~!

4. Indecency Is Probably Going To Be a Big Topic Again This Year

Already there's a video circulating on the Internet showing scenes from shows from several different networks. Several of them are actually from cable television.

8. Yup

we're losing the war, the economy is dipping for the third time during Smirk's reign, and the world is making plans to bring us to our knees. Time to start barking about those filthy TV shows. :eyes:

10. Worst of All It's Cable

I pay for my satellite service with my own money. I should be able to watch what a want since I paid for it. Currently, just about all current satellite and cable services have the ability to block out channels. They even advertise the feature on TV all the time to inform the public. That isn't enough?

14. Not for the Sultans of Sanctimony

No one likes big government any more than the wingers, as long as it's for imposing their morals on you.

[donco6]

7. My solution:

Don't watch it.

I tried it a while ago, but seriously, the "f*ck" every other word turned me off after a while. I grew up in Wild West Kansas and never heard anyone speak that way. I truly think it's not realistic.

But what the f*ck do I care if anyone else watches it?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

13. I'm pretty sure..........

....... you didn't grow up in the Deadwood area at the time the show's portraying. If so, you're very, very old, and if you're that old, yeah, you heard people talking exactly like that.

I grew up in Pennsylvania, in rugged coal mining country, and that is EXACTLY how people talked. And, when I lived in KCMO, I knew people for whom the F word was a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and occasional gerund.

But, yeah, the first couple of shows had me sort of put off by the language - then I went back and watched with a more critical, less bluenose attitude, and saw its brilliance.

[donco6]

16. So YOU'RE very, very old?!

:)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

17. You want to know how old I am?

I'm typing this from the funeral home .......... :)

21. Foul language was VERY prevalent ...

One of the things that sepearated the upper classes from the lower classes was the use of vulgarity. This was an indulgence that the hoopleheads were allowed (you'll notice not a single F-word has passed Mrs. Garret or Mr. Wolcott's lips).

I DID do some reading on the use of the F-word in this period. Apparently, the use of the word FUCK, was not used in this context at the time. It WAS a verb meaning the same thing it does today. But it would have the same effect as saying Copulate, or Screw.

The prevelant taboo of that day wasn't sex as it is today. The prevalent taboo was taking the lord's name in vain. Hence the dispossessed would indulge in it regularaly. So as opposed to hearing "Fuck" every other word, the people of the era would sound a LOT like Yosemite Sam. God Dammit, tarnation, hell, anything making reference to a rejection of god or the invocation of dark places would be good profanity.

The producers decided to substitue an equivalent profanity from the terms of shock value. So instead of: Hell, Tarnation, God Dammit, Damnation. You get Cock, Cunt, Fuck, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Rutting, etc...

Outside the presence of women and children, men do tend to talk in EXTREMELY vulgar ways. It's not hard to wonder why such language would be prevalent on a sailing vessel or a pioneer town.

So don't be a prudish cunt about it.

[donco6]

23. OK, I give!!!

I learned something today.

[knowbody0]

9. we are all here

[Zhade]

[LynneSin]

12. It's HBO - who cares, don't pay for the service

damnit, I'm going to do a PSA about the wonders of Parental Control available for your cable box

[chicagiana]

18. Outrageous!!!

We have to stop the corruption of our youth by keeping this off the airwaves. The indecency ....

... hold on ...

Uh, that is we have to make sure to keep the cable dial safe from such filth and ....

... err ...

That is, it's on HBO which you have to pay for ...

Nevermind.

</sarcasm>

[B Calm]

20. Cocksucker will be hated by millions. DEADWOOD is getting

another year..

[LiviaOlivia]

22. Doxi, 3 degrees of separation?

Deadwood-Ian McShane->Arianna on Real Time w/Maher->Liar/asshat Drudge

see link:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=103&topic_id=119322

Most importantly Bottom Man doesn't want to talk about DeLay and Co.

[NYCGirl]

24. What does that have to do with Ian McShane?

And BTW, the link on the post you referenced is no longer valid.

[ReadTomPaine]

25. McShane was an outspoken Bush critic on Maher's show recently

I think the suggestion is that these comments are payback of some sort.

RTP

[NYCGirl]

26. Yeah, I know. I saw the show. But the connection is extremely tenuous. NT

[ReadTomPaine]

27. I have no opinion on this as I haven't seen the segment yet..

Just trying to clarify!

[LiviaOlivia]

28. I asked a question with humor . Lighten up. You didn't get it, right?

Why are you so hostile? Geeeez. The link I provided to the NY Observer worked when I posted it. The NY Observer article was about a perceived rivalry between Huffington and Drudge and the launch of Arianna's blog.

I 'snipped' that part for goodness sakes. So why are you calling me a liar?

The NY Observer is a subscriptition service. If they chose to run the article free for 7 days, then shut it off, is their choice.


an abbreviated version.

[NYCGirl]

35. I'm not the one who needs to lighten up.

I never called you a liar. I merely wondered what the connection was.

[LiviaOlivia]

36. Wow!

Really? Please see a doctor about your loss of irony.

[Montauk6]

31. OK, maybe not 3 degrees

Deadwood > Ian McShane > Dallas > Ewing Oil > Harkin Oil > never discussed by > Liar/asshat Drudge

Yeah, I think that's a stretch too...

[LiviaOlivia]

32. LOL

Good one. Thanks

[B Calm]

29. DEADWOOD was awesome tonight. Old Al sure was trying

to find out everything that happened to the whores..

[Montauk6]

30. Anything to avoid discussing Gannon I guess....

[Initech]

33. Wow, these people have no lives

Who actually sits down and counts the number of times that the word fuck is said in a show?

And if offends them, turn it off! They make remotes for a reason...

[mitchum]

34. Drudge needs a boyfriend

He certainly makes enough $$$ to rent one

[DearAbby]

40. Drudge had a boyfriend once.....that was a nice day

:evilgrin:

[Initech]

42. You mean like.........

A certain fake reporter / gay male prostitute who works for a fake news organization?

[NYCGirl]

37. IMO, the authors of that site aren't offended. They're fans of the show.

41. Deadwood gives me hope because they portray a part of how this

country was formed and how we lived. We were not all fundamentalists and prudes. It took a great deal of strength to persevere under those types of harsh circumstances. We are strong and we will persevere under the harsh circumstances we find ourselves in today. In the 50's the westerns were sanitized to stay within the guidelines of the motion picture codes. We carry some of those stereotypes with us to and erroneously use those prior efforts as some sort of comparative yardstick. Deadwood is a remarkable achievement. Ian Shane is an absolute wonder and Drudge is well...not worthy of being discussed in the same breath.
