It’s amazing that people will defend the right to pour sewage like this out, but attack anybody who dares criticize it.

What a twisted view of free speech.

>>Why do so many think that Bozell is saying McFarlane should not have had a right to make it? And in the same breath, they seem to be alleging that Bozell should not have been allowed to write the review?<<

Exactly.

My daughter and boyfriend went to see this and loved it!

Comedy is certainly subjective.

I put the categories into Laurel and Hardy or The Three Stooges.

Being a Laurel and Hardy type, the humor of, say, McFarland or the Farrelly Brothers leaves me stoned faced.

I couldn't fine a single laugh in Dumb and Dumber.

Seth McF is a vile scumbag just as despicable as Bill Maher.
Why would I want to contribute to Obama and the dims through this guy? I try not to do business with communists every day and I also do not associate with them in everyday life.

Eff'em.

"NPR's Bob Mondello would actually say he made a "date movie"?"

Because, as you can see from the replies on this very thread, people are so desensitized that they can actually relax to vulgarity.

OK, I admit..I saw Ted and loved it. Crude but very funny.

And I am still a Conservative

Oh, and the “thanks for 9/11” line had me in stitches. For a liberal, MacFarlane has no problem with being not politically correct

It should be noted that, the same people who run the allegedly “conservative” Fox News, are the same ones paying MacFarlane 100 million for his services

I usually avoid films that are patently offensive...but Ted was just too funny.

It’s disturbing to me that conservative people see no issues with movies

Oh well. I find it more disturbing that supposed conservatives are accepting Romney as the Republican nominee but you know what that is life. Which situation is worse for our country? Ted or liberal Romney???? It will be 100 percent Liberal Romney.

Someone who supports the sewer of movies that Hollyjunk dumps into the mainstream, yet is a top-10 supposedly more-conservative-than-thou glass chewer here on FR, and goes so far as to suggest that a the portrayal morally-decrepit teddy bear, mouthed by a virulent militant atheist, is a better thing for our country than a successful MBA/JD married 43 years to the same woman ... I find that ... amusing.

You need to check your compass.

I always wondered who the market was for McFarlane's puerile, stupid crap.

After reading this thread, I guess now I know.

You are sadly mistaken. You are the one that is in serious trouble. I don’t know of any teddy bear (foul mouthed or otherwise) who has supported killing innocent babies, but your candidate liberal Romney has supported murdering babies. Yes I will say it again.....LIBERAL ROMNEY IS MUCH WORSE FOR THE COUNTRY THAN TED THE MOVIE!!!!! I will say it again and again if you can’t get that through your thick skull!!!! Oh by the way....You need to check your compass!!!!

Porny scatological cartoons like the ones this scum writes for are part of the reason we can go weeks—if not months—in our house without turning the TV on. Why do I need a cultural sewer-pipe discharging in my living room?

Seth seems to be trying to prove he can do something other than fart jokes, but the fart jokes are awesome.

There you have it in a nutshell why this country has fallen and can't get up. Our "adults" are perpetual adolescents who can't get enough fart jokes.

Note--most mature people stopped laughing at fart jokes after age 18.

Or maybe our problem is a bunch of stodgy whiners that go through life looking for reasons to think they’re better than other people.

I’ve been married for 20 years, I hold down a good job, a product has NEVER missed release date because of me, I pay my taxes, I pay my bills, I’m a good role model to my friends’ kids, I’ve got the adulthood thing covered. But fart jokes are still freaking funny and I pray God I never get so pathetically old and boring that they stop.

Looking around at our culture, what it values, and the direction it's headed....nah, I don't think that's it.

Looking around at our culture and the number of folks like you who seem to only seek chances to stroke their ego I think so. Really, snooty ego is the calling sign of the pathetic. Lots of people spending hours and hours talking about how stupid everybody else is because they watch this or don’t believe that, never bothering to figure out that if they were really as cool as they want people to think they wouldn’t need to build their ego on the shoulders of others.

Everybody that thinks the problems with society are people watching silly movies needs to get over themselves. The problem is people who think they know better than everybody else, that’s the hallmark of liberalism, a bunch of people thinking regular people can’t take care of themselves so the government and other “smart” people should be deciding everything for them. If all the people who think they’re better than everybody else would just shut the hell up and leave the rest of us alone we wouldn’t have socialized medicine, or a war on drugs, or welfare. It’s the egomaniacs screwing up the world.

LOL, looks like I hit a nerve.

I am a little jealous that the vast bulk of our popular culture is aimed at perpetual adolescents like you. Enjoy your fart jokes, your comic book superhero movies, and wallow in your superiority knowing you are not one of those snooty folks with standards.
