Are you sitting down? Get this: Defamer reports that the Parents Television Council, a Christian watchdog group, does not also serve as a Sarah Silverman Program fan club. I know, right? SHOCKING.
In my humble, personal opinion that does not necessarily reflect those of Comedy Central ,Viacom, or anyone else, I suggest the f**king v chip for parents too consumed with letter writing campaigns to keep an eye on their own children. (I actually think it's funny, I just wanted to be the first person to link to the FCC's official v chip site with an asterisked expletive.)
Anyway, here's what got Parents Who Use TV As a Babysitter or whatever they're called so riled up. I wouldn't want my kid watching it either. That is why I would put my kid to bed first. But that's just me:
My new favorite TV show!! I love you Sarah, and I am a Christian.
You raise some good points in your post. Here are some facts that you might find interesting. An overwhelming majority of Americans (91%) object to government deciding what they are able to watch on television. When activists talk about protecting children instead of parents—here’s what they’re talking about: sixty-eight percent of the country’s 110 million television-viewing households do not include children under age 18 and households with children have different challenges to face due to the varying ages of kids within each family. Currently, there are 11 million households with children age 6-11, 15 million households with children age 0-5 and 9 million households with children 12-17.
TV has come a long way from the days of three channels and rabbit ears antennas. Today’s TV audiences are putting to use broadband, DVRs, TV video on demand, iPods and cell phones to greatly expand their choices about what, when, where and how to watch TV. New technology means consumers have more selection than ever and more control than ever over what they see on TV. We all have more choices and parents have more tools to ensure their kids only see what’s right for them. Let’s let parents decide—not government, for all of us.

Sarah Silverman SUCKS. Fart jokes, fart jokes, and more fart jokes. Wow, real talent there. Comedy Central has TANKED… fart jokes everywhere… Silverman, South Park, 911, even the Daily Show… and the promos too. I guess that's what we get when they run out of ideas…. humor for 11 year old boys. Fuck off.
Seriously! Good point, Felman. Somehow, Comedy Central has even managed to slip fart jokes into my copies of "Ulysses" and "Canterbury Tales"! This madness has got to stop! Fuck off, indeed!
I would totally encourage my kids to watch it because they need some diversion from the stoopidest president ever elected trying to get all his friends as much money as possible even if it means blowing up the world. After watching it with them, I would give them a barbituate but wake them up in time for school of course, and fix them an nice healthy breakfast before I go fix myself a huge vodka and OJ. Geezus.
Sarah Silverman's sense of humor makes me envy the blind and deaf.
The world would be a better place if her kind of comedian were skinned, burned, and diced.
