My whole point was that language is something your station/network can get
in trouble with the FCC for.  So you have someone that decided that
bringing up a touchy subject... a death no less... and trying to use it to
get laughs (or whatever Kimmel thought it would do) which generates a bunch
of phone calls and negative press.

He also worked in... same show, different recent show, doesn't matter... what
many would consider an obscenity, which could be an FCC liability and, since
his ratings are not good, he has given you your out.

I am not a Kirk fan but I am also not stupid enough to try to work his
recent death into any conversation where I plan to cast said death, or
those who were fans of Kirk, into any negative light unless I was looking
to get fired.  What kind of moron does do that?

I don't find Kimmel offensive so much as I find him a crass, stupid person
that apparently some equally crass, stupid people find "clever."  I only
know about what he did because there are people here, and on social media,
who keep track of him.  The latter group seems made up mostly of people who
who look to him as a "thought leader," which is as ill-advised as looking
to Kirk as one.
