Public Access Smut

Wow. I just watched about a half hour of what appeared to be a cheap­ly-pro­duced ad for a strip club on SF pub­lic access TV. Um. Yeah. It offend­ed me so much I had to sit and watch the whole thing. LOL

Seri­ous­ly, I’m not par­tic­u­lar­ly offend­ed, but I am sur­prised to turn on the pub­lic access chan­nel and instead of see­ing some preach­er rant­i­ng about the Bush admin­is­tra­tion, see naked girls cov­er­ing each oth­er in whipped cream &c.

Late night TV in SF is an amaz­ing thing. I remem­ber see­ing full-frontal male nudi­ty in a late-night show­ing of Mid­night Cow­boy when I was in col­lege. The note­wor­thy part of that was that they bleeped out all the swear words. I could nev­er fig­ure that out.

    I used to love pub­lic access TV in San Fran­cis­co. They had a talk show that was run out of a secu­ri­ty guard golf cart called “Phil the Secu­ri­ty Guy” or some­thing like that- he was a night watch­man at a con­do com­plex, he’d inter­view peo­ple in the rec room, in front of the pool table, etc.

    A friend of mine did a show for pub­lic access called SF Con­fi­den­tial or some­thing like that — they had access to a full stage, all of the equip­ment, etc. They had a band, guests, a desk, chairs, stu­dio audi­ence, all very Conan O’Brien. It was a lot of fun to do.
