Ejaculate isn't a dirty word (there are dirty word synonyms for ejaculate but ejaculate is a perfectly acceptable clinical term). And unlike the Super Bowl Oprah was interviewing sex addicts, people had a good reason to guess things might get a little adult.
I'm no Oprah fan, but this is kind of silly, IMO. Howard Stern is famous for gratuitous titlation, while Oprah is exploring issues. Taking a single statement without comparing it to the context of the show, and comparing it to a single Stern statement out of the context of the show is just silly.
I'm not really offended by Stern, but he has made a career of pushing the boundaries of public decency on the airwaves. Let's not scream "double standard" when a guy whose entire career is predicated around pushing the boundaries of decency finds himself in trouble with the FCC more than others who might approach the same territory from a different angle on rare occasions.
Yeah, I saw some stuff about that on the Food Network, I was shocked!!
Y'all talkin like there's somethin' wrong or dirty with that!
Actually I was in the living room when that filth came on. I left immediately. There is no such thing as a sex addict. I hate these terms that excuse inappropriate behavior.
Totally agree. I'd rather my tax dollars be used for something more productive than sniffing around to see if someone said 'ejaculate' on TV. Yes, I wrote ejaculate. Maybe I should have put it as ....how was it written down ....'ej*!%$@te.' And when it comes to slime on TV there is so much dung (didn't use the 'c' word) out there that the FCC, if it really wanted to help maintain standards (LOL) would have so many more legitimate targets. However, Oprah said the 'E' word (guess that is what it will be called from now) and thus must be prosecuted to the fullest measure of the law.
Goodness. The whole use of @#$% is rather silly in the first place....everyone knows what 'ej*!%$@te' stands for, thus why not just write out ejaculate.

Yes, these are profoundly important issues. Very important that we know these things.
None of this gratuitous filth was done for ratings or the almighty buck.

"Today on Oprah, we'll be talking to three sex addicted women."
What part of that statement doesn't get the point across that something "sexual" might come up doing the show?
Oprah just makes me sick....she will sway with who ever is her guest for the day.
Black guest - she all of a sudden has ebonics training.
White guest - she sounds like June from Leave it to beaver
Sluts on - she wants to sound like a hoe!
Well, this IS a step up from when she was dicussing "salad tossing".
Great. You just wrote "ejaculate." Some kid's going to see that and be destroyed forever. And now you made me write it, too. $500,000 fines for everyone!
What happened with Frey?
Yep, sorry, "left" that one out, Thanks...
1. Why are you watching worthless Oprah nonsense? Are you that desperate, dumb or lacking something to do with your life?
2. The Off button is your friend - learn to use it.
3. There are far more important things to worry about; go find one. Speak, tagline, speak!
Goooooood tagline. Sit. Stay.
I can imagine a conversation about whether practices seen in porn are appropriate in real life.
Why anybody would watch Oprah is beyond my comprehension.
I just hope were not going to get into the whole bu<<@<e discussion now.
I just want it known that I am absolutely opposed to any discussion of Japanese noodle preparation methods (doused with dashi). So please nobody offend me by rasing the topic.
Oprah? She must be desperate for ratings..... But anyone who watches this garbage is brain-dead anyway.....
