Porn Sleaze Peddling CBC - Your Tax Dollars at Work

February 9, 2006 · By H. Cameron

Check out what the CBC has been doing with your tax dollars. In the pursuit to broadcast the highest quality television for Canadians, the CBC has outdone itself with the show, Nerve. Apparently filming bizarre sexual activities and otherwise deviant behaviour is now passing as quality television on our public broadcaster. Is this show adhering the broadcasters mandate?

Lets hope Stephen Harper pulls the plug on this national embarrassment.

Update 2: The CBC can broadcast this, but it has reservations again the Howard Stern Show?

“It’s no secret that Howard Stern’s programming is not consistent with the kind of programming you would find on CBC/Radio Canada’s airwaves, but this is a Sirius Canada decision,” said CBC spokesman Jason MacDonald.

He’s kidding right? Does he not watch the network he works for?

    “A young woman talks about life on a kibbutz” is pornography?

    I thought that was just CBC’s “The Hour” with a new name…

    I’m not experiencing the same level of angst over this programming. It’s pretty stupid, but so is alot of other TV. And watching a guy get his nuts waxed? It doesn’t get much more entertaining than that.

    Now that’s not right.

    I followed that link expecting porn, and there was no porn to be found.

    That really grinds my gears.

    Ok, ok, porn maybe too strong of a word. Perhaps sleezy is more fitting?

    I’m with you Greg, the real “porn” is reserved for Zed.

    It seems as though you guys want it both ways. On one hand you want freedom of expression and religion guaranteed when the same sex marriage debate is on the table, and then want to evoke freedom of expression when it comes to the media. Pick a side and stick to it. I find that the religious right watches and gets outraged over so many things they see on television. Things most people do not take the time to watch for themselves. If you don’t like it, turn it off. It is a pretty good strategy and takes way less energy.

Got something to say? (Read the rules first)
