Movies on TV

I've noticed something on tv... there seem to be alot of disclaimers popping up everywhere. Thankfully I don't live in the Land of the Oppressed and the Home of the FCC, but there seem to be an annoying number of them on now. Now I am (or was, I should say with this admittance) a closet wrestling fan. Now the guys who do the disclaimers for wrestling shows just sound like such wimps "This program may offend some viewers" -that sucks. I want some guy yelling at me "
Listen panty-waist, this show rocks hard and we kick alot of ass, so if you can't handle that, get a pair or change the channel!" Hell, I think viewership would increase.

Now for the Chum group of tv channels, Mark Dailey with his deep voice does all the disclaimers, whihc is great for an action movie because you can see him ad-libbing "This movie contains scenes of violence and alot of cool shit blowing up" And with his voice, that would work. Now, for the porn movie they show on friday nights, he just doesn't have the voice for it, it's too manly. "This movie contains scenes of nudity and sexuality - you sick puppy" (on a side note, nudity without sexuality is kind of boring) It sounds like he's trying to make you change to something else for a second.

Now Showcase, they've got it right, for every movie, no matter what, they have this incredible silky voiced woman. "This movie containc scenes with nudity and sexua- oh yes, right there" I mean, that kind of voice puts me in the mood before the opening credits have rolled.
