soapbox

So, I was just sitting here watching Tivo and decided to watch this week’s episode of 30 Rock. I really have to commend the show because they got away with something in their most recent episode that never would have worked if the corporate censors knew what was up.

If you don’t watch the show, Tina Fey plays Liz Lemon. Liz is the manager of a Saturday Night Live type show. In the most recent episode, Liz’s parents (including father Richard) come to visit her for Christmas. They’re friendly, outgoing people joking about how the family is all together for a Lemon party. At dinner, the dad pays for the food and says “It’s not a Lemon party without ol’ Dick!”

Now, that only means something to you if you also know what “goatse”, “tub girl”, or perhaps “2 girls 1 cup” mean. “Lemon party” goes right along in the theme. I’m not going to actually tell you what it is, but it definitely wouldn’t have made it into the show if the censors had known.

You go Tina Fey.
