As much as I didn't like his last few albums, I am very sad to see him go. However, I am glad to hear about how much his passing has meant to so many people

I always liked his stuff, even when i was only young enough to understand half of what he was saying.

I'm with you on that; I've been listening to him for years, and I'll always enjoy certain albums of his. I just thought that as time went on, his humor went down a path I didn't care to take with him.

Well even though he is gone he took on a villain that Superman and Batman wouldn't even take on as a team.... the dreaded, vile, indescribable FCC.

True; I mentioned this as part of a thesis I wrote last term regarding different forms of broadcasting censorship.

do you mean about how they clamped down on the Famous Seven? Foolish FCC! Watching a villain slaughter hundreds, or watching a giant robot kill thousands while attempting to temporarily subdue him is OK, but you'd better not say (defecation) (urination) (intercourse) (Female Bit) (Felatiator) (Maternal intercourser) or (Nipply Bits) ... (wow, half of them arn't censored by proboards so I'll just (------) those for decency ish) Which is especially weird because by clamping down on these words, the FCC only worked to make them more common.
And violence is OK, as long as there are no consequences.
And I know Tim especially knows how things were handled during the Batman show, so he can tell y'all 'bout that if he wants.

Ah, no worries! What's even worse in terms of violence with no consequences is the "A-Team" TV series from the 1980's. Millions of rounds of ammunition are expended and no is ever shot or killed.
