I love Kathy Griffin, and I support her decision to tell Jesus to “suck it!” during her Creative Arts Emmy speech. That is why I’m holding my breath during this year’s Emmys waiting for someone to refer to Jesus and/or sucking.
———————————————————
7:15 – Jeremy Piven COULD have said, “Dad, this is for you. I love you, and I miss you. Now, tell Jesus to suck it.”
But no. Missed opportunity.
———————————————————
7:39 – Oh! So it’s code! When they go to that far shot from the rafters and there’s no sound, someone like Katherine Heigl is saying “Shit!” When did the Midwest Mormons start producing the Emmys? Or is it because the FCC is fining live broadcasts? If so, is “suck it” profane?
———————————————————
7:52 – Pregnant women should not stand on top of pianos, Christina. That is something we feel in the Midwest feel strongly about. DOWN! OFF THE PIANO!
———————————————————
8:07 – The recycled stage collapses under the self-importance of Robert “Thank you for coming here tonight” Duvall and the cast of Roots. Really, he told the audience “Thanks for coming here tonight!” Like it’s his own personal theater?
———————————————————
8:15 – Surely the creator of the Sopranos will tell someone to suck it. Come on! Tell Jesus to suck it. Waahh. Pussy.
———————————————————
8:30 – The chairman of the television academy is NAMED “Dick Askin?” And still no “suck it” jokes? West Coast, you break my heart, you break my heart. Oh, and suckmahballz.
———————————————————
9:45 – Okay, I’m going to tell myself that Sally Field just told George Bush to suck it.

You mean people actually watch the Emmys?Who knew? I haven’t actually watched TV or read a book since the year 2000 when the computer ate my brain.
Wow, there must be a hell of time delay there. No sound and no visual to read offensive words from radical, peacenik lips. For a while there, I thought it was the 1950s.
I was flippin’ back and forth so missed some of this, but really… I think as long as they bleeped out Sally she was saying waaaay more than that! 😉
I recorded the Emmys while watching Anchorman. That way I didn’t have to sit through 3 hours of boredom but I can find a funny scene or two if anyone’s talking about them today. I don’t know why I bothered. That’s what I have Best Week Ever for. So far? It’ll probably get deleted to night.
I actually heard what she said, uncensored. “If mothers ran the world, there would be no goddamned wars in the first place.”Fox claimed she was censored because she said “goddamned”, but then why bleep out the entire phrase and not just the word, as is the usual practice? Why visually cut away from her? Seems pretty apparent to me Fox censored more than just bad words – they censored an idea.
Zayrina – I love all awards shows. Because famous people might screw up. Because OJ cant do it all on his own.Friend #3 – It really was kind of creepy.sue – Yeah = but did she get bleeped for prefacing “damn” with god or did she get bleeped for the sentiment?Caroline – Well, I thought Rainn Wilson vs Kanye West was pretty funny. I don’t know if that’ll be on BWE.Friend #3 – I don’t know. They seemed to be making a big show out of trying too hard.
The video of K.Griffin tellin’ Jeebus to ‘suck it’ rates up there in my top five internet videos of all time.
styro – I know! I especially like the victory arms at the end.
