The eight finest _______ in Georgia.


Of course, I'm speaking of a scene from "Design House" in season one where the comedic character of Boyd, a rival decorator refers to the four in the firm as "the eight finest breasts in Georgia."

I remember a time when people could take a joke, or brush off a harmless flirt, or ignore things that were never really intended to hurt them. Hell we are living in a time where a COMPLIMENT (even if not profane) has become an "unwanted advance." I remember a time when TV comedy was just TV comedy. When characters like Boyd were just annoying characters, never to be taken as anything more than an annoying character. If anything at all, a comment like this only brings to light their own stupidity, while bringing to light the strength of the person at which it is directed. Face it. People were never so thin-skinned as they are today. Back then, the fab four were able to brush it off and laugh in his face. Today a scene like this would get an entire series removed from TV, leaving the writers and directors without a pot to piss in until their dying days.
