Two months ago, I reported that ABC used a bleeped F-word in their promo for a 20/20 interview with the Osbournes.

Tonight, they did it again. The Osbournes are hosting the American Music Awards, and during a break in the Jets-Colts football action, during the 7-7:30 timeslot, the ABC promo dude comes on and says, "Look who's hosting the American Music Awards... ...it's the f-beep-ing Osbournes, live Monday January 13th on ABC."

Now, I'm no prude, and I really don't care much about the use of foul language. Still, I find it difficult to believe that people, especially those with children, give the Disney network a pass. Beeped or not, you wouldn't think they'd deliberately use the F-word in their promo. Do they do that a lot with the Osbournes? I don't watch ABC much, (nor MTV for that matter) so perhaps this is normal for them.

As for the Osbournes, I've only watched about 2 minutes of their show, and what I saw I thought was disgusting. ABC is an over the air network, however, and I thought that they were under more restrictive censorship rules than MTV. They certainly don't hold themselves to a higher standard.
