Posted June 22, 2008 That's Joan Rivers swearing on Loose Women earlier this week. It apparently caused masses of complaints by the public, and she was "asked" to leave during the commercial break. She made a statement on it saying "I have won an Emmy, been nominated for a Tony award, done every show and become an icon and when people ask me what is left in my career I have always said I don't know, but I have never been forcibly thrown out of a TV studio. It is another milestone," she said." What's your opinion on it, do you think it got taken way out of proportion, or were people right to complain and have ITV throw her out during the break?

Posted June 22, 2008 I was actually watching that when it happened, it was pretty funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 Haha! It's a bit drastic to throw her out the studio. I mean she clearly forgot/didn't know it couldn't be bleeped out. I've seen people swear on Live daytime TV before it's not a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 I think people really need to shut up to be honest, swearing is so common that it's like part of the language. Idiots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 Yes it was taken way out of proportion. But what can you expect from the viewers of a shit show like this. I was actually watching that when it happened, it was pretty funny. You were watching loose women? Sorry man but you lose quite a few respect points for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 never underestimate the daytime tv viewers capacity for indignation, especially when they're middle England housewives. guah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 It was an accident and she didn't realise it wouldn't get bleeped, she knew not to do it again yet got thrown out. Taken out of proportion I think, when people hear a swear word, why bother getting worked up, it's only a word and I hardly think kids under the gae of 5 will be watching the show with mummy.

Posted June 22, 2008 Exactly, it makes no sense the way they reacted. It's not like she commited genoside for chirst sake, she said a couple of expletives. Big frigging deal. She's a fantastic comedian, she obviously didn't realise it couldn't be bleeped so get over it. People swear all the time, it's just common language nowadays. Admittedly some people do it too often (*looks at himself for apparently swearing every few sentences*) but who cares? People need to grow up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, she said a swear word or two, big deal. It shouldn't have had a massive reaction. She's a really funny woman and people need to realise that loads of people and comedians swear, so stop complaining and watch the show. If it offends you so much, then never watch TV again.

Posted June 22, 2008 Anyone remember that Channel 4 breakfast programme called RISE? I remember when they invited that Punk Rocker (whose name escapes me) who sung "God save the queen" (sex Pistols?). Anyway, he swore like crazy, so I suppose that is why the programme has gone to oblivion. Meh, kids hear dear old mommy swear and a lot more everyday.

Posted June 22, 2008 Reminds me of this; Told not to swear, took offense since they don't swear in any of their songs, so decided to replace an entire verse with "fuck". I like Matt Bellamy's logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 Bit ridiculous....Loose Women are all like "Men are shit in bed! Fuck penises! Vaginas FTW!", or at least it was when I saw it last. Swearing and Sex used to be on a similar censorship level. I'm glad that at least one is looser now (no pun intended). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 That's the only bit of Loose Women I'll ever watch. :wink: Yeah, they did go ott with their reaction. Shite show anyway, as we all know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2008 The women on Loose Women are a bunch of sad *****. Reminds me, we had dinner at a noodle bar (Noodle Nation) on Wednesday. There was a couple of women sat near us and all they talked about was men/stupid things that made me want to shove meat dumplings down their throats. Hilight ; "Oh my god, she bought me make up for my birthday and I was so offended" Honestly it was absolutely hurrendous the shit they were saying, the way they were saying it and the blatant sense of self importance they both had. Ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2008 umm, lol? I wonder why foul language is such a big deal. Most of the time, it's meaningless words. I bet that if she said something truly insulting, without any swear words, this wouldn't have happened. It's like the word "Nigger". Few people know what it truly represents, but all the fuss around it made it "the ultimate insult". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
