Jane Fonda: Speaking From The Heart...Or Maybe From Somewhere A Bit Lower

Jane Fonda has gone and done it again. First, she betrays our country during the Vietnam War and now...

She is trying to single-handedly poison the minds of our children by promoting the use of naughty, offensive words.

Now, you on the left who think of her as an icon of anti-war activism and Women's Rights don't go burning your bras.

You on the right who think that she spent the Summer of 1968 walking barefoot in the park with Ho Chi Minh, stand at ease…

This isn’t really about Jane Fonda.

Yesterday Ms. Fonda appeared on the Today Show and talked with Meredith Vieira about the 10th Anniversary of the play, “The Vagina Monologues”.

Fonda was discussing the time that she was approached about performing in the show.

Fonda told Vieira something to the effect, that initially she wasn’t sure if she wanted to appear in a show “about a cunt.” Oh excuse me, “about a c*nt.”

Shocking!! The entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States came to a complete standstill. Fathers were outraged…Mothers wept…Clueless children ate their Cheerios, and me?

Well, I instantaneously experienced a vision of me doing the nasty with Barbarella.

Dr. Janice Crouse of the Puritanical Conservative Christian political group “Concerned Women for America” chimed in with the following:

“…whether children or adults, we should not have crude and vulgar language broadcast over media to corrupt the culture and all of society… A simple seven-second delay would have spared families throughout the country from Fonda's profanity. NBC deserves a big fat FCC fine."

Okay, I’m not saying that the word c*nt should be broadcast over the air every morning, but c’mon. This “corrupted our culture”? A seven second delay would have “spared families throughout the country.”?

Dr. Crouse makes it sound as though this incident is akin to terrorizing the innocence of our children by creating and airing a cartoon version of Russ Meyer’s film, “Mud Honey”.

Tim Winter of the Parents Television Council also weighed in:

"Just a few weeks ago, ABC's Good Morning America allowed the F-word to slip by unbleeped…The public is entitled to the expectation that television is not going to assault their families during certain times of day and NBC clearly violated that expectation today."

The “F-word” incident refers to Diane Keaton talking to Diane Sawyer on GMA in January, about her “fuckin’ personality”…Oh excuse me, “fuc*in’ personality.”

Wow. I never realized that Good Morning America and the Today show were “assaulting our families.” I feel so violated.

I would just like to say that while a bit regrettable, these incidents really do not affect a seven year old kid sitting at the breakfast table eating Coco-Puffs.

And they certainly do not undermine our social fabric.

These are merely words non-grata. (Although I do find both words, if not overused and put into just the right spot, can be really funny.)

Every child, no matter how well raised, how sheltered, how stable the household environment, will ultimately learn these words. Does that mean they are okay to use on TV? No.

I am merely trying to convey two things…

One, this is not a critical incident that will severely and irrevocably damage the health and well-being of our children.

And number two…

Dr. Crouse and Tim Winter really need to suck it up, quit trying to make themselves relevant, and most of all, relax and quit being such whiny “fuc*in’ cu*ts.”

Cheers!!
