They said sh#t, unbleeped. I didn't know they could do that on TV.

FX is not one of those typical networks. They can get away with a lot more on there.

Basic cable shows have been able to do that for a while. You just realized it now?

Well it's actually understandable because while they are able to do so, many still do not.

What do you mean 'many'? Nearly every recent non-family cable show out there uses the word.

Cable does not operate by the same rules as network television at all. Technically they could say *beep* and show naked women too. The only reason they don't is because of advertisers. Advertisers control everything.

Likewise, this is why some networks (like comedy central) get a little more lax about these thing during later hours. I've seen stand-up specials on CC that are completely uncensored (swearing and nudity).

Lately, some networks have been able to get away with more with advertisers. CC and FX both throw *beep* around like it's nothing. Man ass also seems to be the most common form of nudity on basic cable as well (which I think is a damn shame).

Remember, cable is not a slave to the FCC. It's a slave to advertisers. They are calling the shots.
