Naughty words

So apparently Jane Fonda dropped the dreaded C-word* on the Today show last week. They bleeped it when the show was re-run on the west coast a few hours later, and co-host Meredith Viera went on to apologize to the viewers at home.

“We would do nothing to offend the audience,” she said.

Well yeah, but that’s sort of the problem with the show, now isn’t it, Meredith?

* It’s “cunt,” okay? I’m sorry if you’re offended, and I’m not arguing that it’s the sort of thing that does belong on daytime television, but it’s just a word. Maybe Meredith Viera should try reading this on the air.
