An Australian Senate panel has rejected calls to censor Gordon Ramsay's 'Kitchen Nightmares' and certain swear words from Australian TV after a Senator said the program contained excessive swearing and abusive language. Foul-mouthed chef Ramsay's show is a hit in Australia. However, Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi wanted the show to be examined after he said the most recent episode had contained "the F-word" 80 times in its 40 minutes.
But on Thursday, the Australian Senate rejected the calls and said as long as fair warning before the show was provided, it was fair game. The report concluded, "In the absence on an overwhelming community consensus that particular words be banned altogether, the committee does not believe it is appropriate to make any recommendations with regard to imposing additional limits."
Ramsay, of course, had some advice for the Senator: "Turn over the TV channel. Isn't it easier?" he said in an interview. "I don't mean to swear, it's just the muppets I have to work
with sometimes. We have a good day where things run to total perfection but throw a donkey in the mix and, yeah, you're in the shit."
"The minute you start running the kitchen like it's some form of limp dick society, trust me, get out. I want to run a proper kitchen with a pair of balls, not stand there and wish everybody a Merry Christmas and pat them on the back every time they do a good job. It's high pressure, high energy and, more importantly, real - that's how we keep it every day."
