Stay tuned for TV's next scandal as Motley Crue lead singer, Vince Neil, throws out the "F" word live on NBC's "Tonight Show."
It happened again not 15 minutes ago. My wife and I were watching the "Tonight Show" with Leno when Vince Neil of Motley Crue, while singing their hit song, "Girls, Girls, Girls" shouted, "Happy f*&$%@g new year!"…

Have we become so prudish that a little four letter word offends us? Are our ears so sensitive tht we cannot even hear "fuck" without freaking out and crying about how we were offended and/or how our children might be affected? Children get a whole lot more abuse from their friends than they ever will from a few musicians. Why have we gotten this far? Motley Crue swearing is not a story by itself, but how we got to this point is a story? When did American humanity forget to be human? When did "Sticks and stones" stop hurting our bones, and when did the words start hurting?
BHW is right, there are bigger issues out there, Tsunami victims, Vermont wanting to cecede from the Union, Colgate CEOs paying themselves tens of thousands in bonuses yet laying off thousands of workers, yet there are still people getting upset because our children might be subjected to a bad word or an extra piece skin so brief that you needed to have a DVR to even see it in the first place.
Our priorities are seriously messed up, be considerate of others is one thing, but this politically correct bullshit has gone WAY TOO FAR!
to steal a phrase:
"I hate to get on a rant, but..."
When did "of the poeple" start to mean less than 5% of those living here?
When did "for the people" start to mean as long as "I" can line my pocket?
When did "by the people" start to mean only those with money?
We have a voice, and goddamnit lets use it.

it's Monday and I see the fan relatively free of excrement: perhaps we did learn something from the Janet overkill.
However, David certainly has every right to express his discomfort with the incident, which by the way, is much less regulatorily culpable because it occurred after the 10pm broadcast witching hour.
And it was certainly a story at the time, so thanks for passing it on.
I think, as a parent, the best you can do is to reasonably shield, and then explain what cannot be shielded. I figure that the 20 and 17 year-olds survived this method and the 5 and 1 year-olds are likely to do the same.

This entire blog thread covers the first song Motley Crue performed on Leno on New Years Eve - "Girls, Girls, Girls". Did anyone notice what happened during the SECOND song - "Dr. Feelgood" - performed about 15 minutes later? Vince started to mutter the F-bomb again, then it was bleeped, and the entire second-half of the song (after the lead break) was completely cut short, as the show went to its closing credits and off the air. It would appear that the network censors weren't about to get caught napping again a second time, or were less tolerant the second time around.

This is what everyone needs to remember, even though the "F" bomb was dropped on a non-subscriber based network, it was said in the safe harbor (after 10pm)and accordinig to FCC regulations, might not be a fineable offense.
Here is what I think. If you have a child that heard the slip up, then instead of a huge public outcry about indecency, be a good parent and explain to your child that it is not okay to use language like that. Don't we tell our children that no one likes a taddle tale? BE A GOOD PARENT!!!
