RJ Moeller identifies the problem with people who write letters to the FCC about the type of language and content on late night comedy shows.

There are, among certain types of Christians, a lot of empty calories burned in Christendom when it comes to such pop-culture matters as these. The suburbs surrounding major metropolitan areas from Los Angeles to Boston, from Seattle to Atlanta, are the sites of epic familial battlegrounds where rhetorical combat between faithful, protective parents and their rebellious offspring who just tried to sneak the new album from The Offspring into the house with that dastardly “Explicit Lyrics” label on it (circa 1995) take place.
