Thursday Funnies: You Can't Say 'Nuts' on Television
By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive)
July 10, 2008 - 21:39 ET 

George Carlin, the comedian who died a few weeks ago, became famous practically overnight due to his controversial routine about the seven words you can't say on television.

Apparently, Carlin was wrong, because there's another word you can't say: NUTS.

Of course, it goes without saying that if you're referring to food, or someone's sanity, this four-letter word is just fine.

However, if you're talking about someone's naughty bits, as the following hysterical video created by our friends at 23/6 demonstrates, this seemingly innocent word doesn't slip off the tongue very easily (h/t TVNewser, photo courtesy ABC News):

Video at link.  :-)
"When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."

- Ayn Rand

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

hahahahahaha! In this day, nobody has the balls to say nuts.

If Jesse does nothing else in his life, he will have at least raised the awareness of how truly ridiculous we have become.

Hey... :hammer:

Some of us are proud of our nuts...especially the lug type.   :-)
