Tossed salad and other Oprah-isms
Apparently, Oprah's ratings have been falling. So she had a sex show: graphic descriptions of various different sexual activities.
Of course, the show also attracted its share of complaints, some of which have been archived at "the Smoking Gun"
(see )
One of the complaints was a little disturbing:
The Oprah show described with graphic detail a sexual term known as "tossing salad." It was so offensive that my child's head literally exploded. Please ban free speech so this never happens again.

Obviously sarcasm. People made a big stink about something that kids wouldn't be watching anyways. I personally would have loved to have been made aware that this episode was

"Citizens against the Unclean Network Trash". Odd that the "A" in "against" ain't capitalised, ain't it?

[nq:1]I don't know why some people want the government to solve all their problems.[/nq]
