Aussie TV - Raining F-Bombs? C-Bombs?
Can you say that on TV in Australia? Hell yes. Chef Gordon Ramsay, of "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" in Australia (and "Hell's Kitchen" in the U.S.) drops some serious f-bombs. Per The Daily Telegraph,
... celebrity chef Ramsay slipp[ed] in the f-word more than 80 times in one episode.Shazam! Should the government get involved?
[Australian] Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi said the dropping of the "c-bomb" during a recent 9.30pm episode had gone too far.Do not mess with a man with a bunch of knives, or the network that broadcasts his show.
Channel 9 hit back yesterday, saying 1.5 million viewers would know better than "one person in Parliament" about what they wanted to watch on TV.So what does Senator Bernardi want? " ... a study of the effectiveness of the broadcasting code of conduct." Good luck with that, considering chef Ramsay's other program "The F-Word," was reviewed by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification, and received just an "M" for moderate coarse language.
