YOU SIR ARE AN ASS

We haven't watched Sons of Anarchy season six yet....because...well..our Canadian Netflix doesn't carry SOA anymore. We will however, be able to catch up when we watch it down in the U.S. of A in December on our next trip.

So there are no spoilers here!!!

However the scuttleBUTT (har har) is that some people are not happy about seeing main character, Charlie Hunnam's beautiful ass on their pristine television screens during the final season seven which is now playing.

As Entertainment Weekly points out, a group of uptight anti-ass folks known as the Parents Television Council doesn't want you to see the very, very lovely naked ass of Hunnam. What set them off? Apparently, this week's episode, which featured a whole lot of fake television sex and even more Hunnam ass. We HAVE seen it before....season one, season two, season three, season four, season five...

I don't hear the Parents Television Council crying out about Jonathan Rhys Meyers humping his way through the history of sixteenth century England on The Tudors....... "oh, but that is HISTORY and EDUCATIONAL" - No, it's not, there is a LOT more to history than Henry doing what comes naturally, even if he is doing it in period costume.

And, really folks - your children should not be watching SOA! Seriously, it glorifies really bad people making really bad decisions and getting into really bad situations that they can't get out of. It is all very Shakespearean when it comes down to it, only with more flesh, so to speak.

On the upside there is no f***ing......as in swearing, on The Sons, but more of the the actual physical thing, which is what got everyone excited this last while. This time I don't hear them protesting about the burning of bodies, shooting of people, knifing or beating.....just one bum shot!

Neither FX or show creator Kurt Sutter has responded to the Parents Television Council's grievance.

and....Charlie Hunnam's ass could not be reached for comment. But the rest of him looks like this....

As Entertainment Weekly reports, it's not the first time the group has complained about Sons of Anarchy, a show they should clearly just stop watching already!

 I agree, from what I saw while researching for you lot.....It's raw, it's naked and it is sex (which I don't think should be a spectator sport no matter whose ass is involved)....for goodness sake it's SOA!!! SEASON SEVEN!!! Get over it! You have opposable thumbs - you can turn the set off!

And under the heading "there is nothing new under the sun" I remember back in the 1990's when NYPD Blue pushed the envelope by including shots of naked butts during sex scenes. Dennis Franz was one of the first to display his moneymaker on the series as Detective Andy Sipowicz. Despite heavy criticism — including calls to boycott the show — NYPD Blue’s ratings kept going up and up.

Dennis is the guy on the right. So whose ass would you rather look at - A Hunnam or a Franz?  The other guy in this picture...well...you saw a lot of his butt too. Eventually he did turn into a real ASS and no one in Hollywood would hire him for a very...long....time. I am sure you know who he is.

Note to self - I would rather watch the character Jax (Charlie Hunnam) bouncing around doing the deed that look at a Kardashian's well oiled ass.

You be the judge:

Is this even physically possible???

While visiting a friend in Edmonton this last weekend we went out for lunch and sat next to a family who was celebrating a woman's birthday.

One of the other women handed her a box and said something about it being late......

It turned out to be a calendar or a calendar holder - we didn't want to gawk! But the ensuing conversation really got our attention.

the Giftee said that she "already had a calendar that she used and that she didn't need another one."

There was just SILENCE at the table, then conversation continued and she didn't say 'thank you' or 'it was a nice gesture anyway' NO - she waited literally a few MINUTES and we heard her say:

"You know, I really can't think of ANYWHERE that I could possible use this."

Wow - drop her off your Christmas list.



Things I have learned this week:

Over the last decades many things have been sent up into space for "aliens to find". (For those of you in the southern U.S. of A reading this...it does not mean Mexican aliens...but space aliens.)

"Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul."

That was the message from Paul McCartney when, in 2008, Nasa beamed into space the Beatles song Across the Universe via its Deep Space Network.  How anyone finding this will have the correct way to play it is beyond me..I can't even find the right cables for my Blackberry Playbook and phone!

The Beatles song is travelling across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second to reach North Star, Polaris, which is 431 light years away from Earth.

Here is a partial list of important historical ....stuff ......we humans have decided are important enough to represent our civilization.

 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber

 A colour photograph of the city of Oxford

 A black and white diagram of human sex organs

 A sound recording of a shepherd herding sheep

 Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry

 Buzz Lightyear toy. The astronaut action figure of the Toy Story films.

 Lots of dead space monkeys, many called Albert

  A saxophone

 A copy of Playboy Magazine

 A triple barrel TP-82 capable of 40 gauge shotgun rounds

And most importantly.......The ashes of Gene Roddenberry
