Tits on TV of the Day

I like tits on TV. I don’t think it is revolutionary. If anything I think it’s long overdue, cuz all this censorship pisses me off, we should all embrace our primal animal instinct, but for some reason, religion fucked with that, and made sex a bad thing… But at least the internet is forcing mainstream media to progress, even if mainstream media owns 98 percent of the internet and control 100 percent of the ad dollars. I like the concept of the show Shameless. I haven’t really seen it. I know it’s another UK made USA rip off, but drunken deadbeat is kinda my thing, so how could it be bad, it’s getting our plight out there… Either way, shit is uncensored and here are: Emmy Rossum’s great Tits with Amy Smart talking about being fat when she used to be so skinny while wearing a Bra And Laura Wiggins….getting down with William H. Macy on some porn site…. FOLLOW ME
