Is the film Night of the Living Dead too racy for daytime television? What about double entendres about "spotted dick" pudding? Or a travel documentary about Paris featuring burlesque dancers and a museum with nude paintings? These were just some of the federal obscenity complaints that made Hot Spring County, Arkansas, the most prudish place in America.

There is a Baptist church on every corner in Arkansas...
ReplyDeleteDude, that sounds more like Church of Christ. I grew up in it.

ReplyDeleteThe 'Garbage Island' of Puerto Rico is well represented on the list of whiners, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteNot that I've got anything against Puerto Rico, other than it's partly responsible for producing dimwitted knucklehead Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
I worked with some PR's and they told me the news is not censored like it is here. They show blood, dead bodies, etc. as a way to get more viewers. Could explain some of that.

If memory serves, it's pretty much a wholly owned subsidiary of the Church of Christ.
ReplyDeleteI was visiting my grandparents in Republic, MO when I was about twelve. That night, the local Springfield station played what they thought was one of the Hope and Crosby "Road To" movies.
ReplyDeleteTurns out, it was a softcore porn movie with a road to somewhere title, that ran most of the way through until too many complaints were being phoned into the station.
I loved it, because I saw my first tits in that movie.
Given the reputation of Hot Springs back in the day it's a little hypocritical.
