<br>Please do post the "Language Restrictions."  I cannot imagine that the great
<br>majority of ADS-L subscribers would be offended.  If there are one or two who
<br>wish some words would go away, they all have delete buttons on their PC's.
<br>
<br>"Tittitainment," is almost certainly a blend or portmanteau word with the
<br>elements "Tit," or perhaps "titty," and "entertainment.  The message is that TV
<br>shows with plenty of cleavage or bared breasts will certainly occupy the
<br>attention of unemployed males.  As a matter of fact, such shows already do
<br>occupy the attention of not only unemployed males, but of many who are
<br> gainfully
<br>employed.
