When Chuck Lore produces a serial TV show, he flashes after the credits and 
before the ads a chunk of plain text, black on white, for half a second. 
It's called a "vanity card."  They're usually kind of funny, or poignant, or 
so on. You have to pause the recording to even read it.

This one was talking about how the FCC would censor sex but not violence, 
and for some reason he thinks the FCC wanted him not to flash it or some such.

It hasn't anything to do with the specific show.

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Chuck Lore? (Meaning that even though I 
know how to use Google, it is not a name I had heard before)

I still don't get the timing. Was "Golly Moses, She's a Muffin" a show 
that was aired on 10 Apr 2006? If so, why is aQ referring to that 12 
June 2009 as if it was happening tonight (or last night)?

> It hasn't anything to do with the specific show.

I.e. it is not related in content

Metapost: it is not that I think this is important or relevant. Just 
that I prefer people to post messages that are comprehensible. Both in 
the sense of making sense and of being understandable for (almost) 
everyone in this group.

Ah, it was meant as a joke.
There's so many perverts in the entertainment
industry that I just assumed that he really was
advocating broadcasting porn during prime-
time.

Couldn't help myself. Decided to look a bit further. The Show aQ is 
probably referring to is that of June 4th. That has a vanity card that 
is censored http://www.chucklorre.com/index-2hm.php?p=251 . Now we only 
have to explain a time dilatation of 1 week. That should be easier than 
3 years and a bit. No mention of "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" however, so 
it is still possible that aQ was referring to some other show (there are 
at least 5 to choose from. Yet, #155 is not one of them).

Some guy who has made a number of successful serial TV shows.

Because he failed to get his prescription renewed on time?

Correct. Neither to the TV show that's airing, the TV show it aired after, 
or (apparently) floride poisoning.

Sure. I was just explaining what a "vanity card" is. I'd never seen them 
before about 6 months ago, since I watch so little TV.

No, that has a vanity card that says "Censored" on it. Who knows if it was 
really censored, or Lore is trying to make a point, or whether he had 
nothing clever to say that week so he put that up as a kind of joke?

There is that link to the presumably intended text to be aired.

Ah, I had missed that. So it's a double-censored. He removed the joke from 
the show, then removed the explanation of why he removed the joke from the show.

Given that when I was in China, I saw a man carrying a dead feral cat into a 
restaurant, I'm not surprised. (And yes, it was a dead cat. Looked like 
Garfield.)

Tontight's Two and a Half Men
Your Dismissive Attitude Towards Boobs

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #141

 As we go about our day, as we sleep peacefully in our warm beds, a battle is
raging. A battle between the forces of darkness and the forces of light,
between those who seek chaos and those who cherish and defend order. Many brave
and good men have taken on this eternal struggle, but there is only one who has
never bent, never hesitated to do what needs to be done. He is a rough, violent
man who risks his own soul so that the rest of us may safely live out our lives
in ignorant bliss. He seeks no credit. There are no medals, nor parades for men
such as he. He fights for us and then, weary and bloodied, he returns to a life
of simple anonymity, writing and producing a sitcom for CBS. Who is this
soldier? His name does not matter. But you can be sure of one thing, he
wouldn't mind a freaking Emmy nomination once in awhile. And he could probably
hit evil people on the head with a Golden Globe.

That is something he does, you'll notice at the ends of some of the 
shows he produces a black screen with white text in a courier typeface, 
usually only showing for a fraction of a second. Usually has some 
writing of his, but I don't know the details of what he writes.
