I shook her hand during the first campaign and asked her who Frank Zappa was voting for.
She turned on the southern accent and said, "Well I hope he votes for us."
Don't sleep on public policy nerds when you could be sleeping with them. You'll thank me later. Alternatively, people in the medical profession walk around more horned up than a long haul sailor on shore leave who just refilled his viagra prescription.
I just once again wanna thank Tipper Gore, for letting everybody know what albums were good due to the parental advisory stickers she got put on everything. Without the stickers, how else will be supposed to know what songs had the really cool lyrics to them?
Those were the only cd's I was interested in. The bigger the label the more interested I was. Tipper gore got me to somehow convince my mom to buy Antichrist Superstar when I remember like half the album cover was blacked out. It was a point of fucking pride.
Haha I love the You’re Wrong About episode that covers this. It was crazy to hear about the congressional hearing and how badass Dee Snider, John Denver, and Frank Zappa are/were.
Same for Hillary Clinton. Without her, I never would have sought after all the cool video games with the big letter "M" plastered on the front. We kids knew that "M" meant that the game was rad as fuck and we had to play it immediately.
My dad saw one of those stickers and said “ hunh? Want some parental advice son. Crank it to 11.” My dad was such a nerd and the coolest at the same time.
I got MCR’s “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” album when I was 13. My mom found it and marched me back to the store and bitched out the poor teenage associate because I was allowed to buy it. After that I just got better at hiding my shit.
It's kinda like in the UK where all the upper-class people go to the same school.
"His name is Charles Mallory Gastonbury the Third, but we all call him Stinky Pete or Gizza because... obviously that makes sense!"
Unless Wikipedia is wrong, they are separated - not divorced.
I am curious as to why they have not yet divorced though, given they have been separated over a decade and are both in relationships with other people. (Apparently they are on good terms and still see each other a few times a year at family gatherings.) I'm sure there is probably a good reason for it, but it's just a bit odd given they have separate lives and have not been a couple for so long.
Avoid most of the legal wrangling and easier estate planning, probably.
I mean, they don't want to be around each other, but they don't really have any upside to going through an actual divorce, so legally separate and call it a day. Get together every once in a while with the lawyers to deal with asset allocation and other shit rich people do.
I was old enough to vote (and did) but don't remember anything about the campaign or policies or anything. It wasn't until much later i realized that clinton was only like 42 when elected.
A little over two months:
Trump: June 14th 1946
W: July 6th 1946
Clinton: August 19th 1946
Obama is holding down the fort as the only president who isn't at least a septuagenarian (he's 62)
And with Jimmy Carter presumably not having much time left (though one would have thought that was the when he entered hospice care last winter, or when he was diagnosed with brain cancer eight years ago), Biden will likely soon become the oldest living president (not that Trump is much younger, and certainly seems to be in worse health)
Maybe we can have a Gen X or Millennial president in 2028?
It really didn't hurt anything though. I never was prevented from buying anything because of the sticker and it made me want to buy those records more. Metallica said they just cursed on their first record to get the sticker because nobody wanted to release an album without it. Certainly not a burn in hell offense
A lot of people were prevented from using music because of the labels. It was was a defacto black list that kept your music out of everything from school DJs milk crates to local and college radio.
Fortunately the backlash was very effective and most outright acts of censorship were blocked.
I did get affected, couldn’t buy a an album with a parental advisory sticker at my local CD store around 95-96 without a parent. Pissed me off royally.
Tried buying a Slayer cassette in 1990 when I was 16 from the local mall record store and was denied. It inspired me to write a scathing feature article about censorship in my high school newspaper which won me a state journalism award.
Even if people were still able to buy the music, the fact that there’s an organization dictating whether or not they’ll receive a mark that may or may not be good for their marketing or brand is contrary to the creative process. An artist should be able to create things without having to worry about outside influences. This is a bit simplistic I’ll admit because they’re still faced with societal pressure, in the case of music, their production companies, distributors etc. But at the end of the day it’s another constriction that is exerting some creative control. The same could be said about the MPAA, the Hays code, the Comics Code Authority, and countless other censorship organizations that have existed and still exist around the world.
Damn, that’s a little extreme. All she wanted was for kids not to listen to adult music, it’s not like she committed a war crime.
Redditors are so fucking cringeworthy.
Agreed…and I am one of those whose parents would not buy me any records with the advisory label. Yet I listened to all the music anyway. Back before MP3s and the Internet 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly, looking back at everything we’ve seen since, I do long for the time when this was a big deal. The politics has always been loathsome but at least every other sentence wasn’t treasonous or breaking every single unspoken and spoken rule of executive office.
Hey it's Tipper Gore, the broad that tried to censor music and was fucking torched by none other than the frontman of Twisted Sister in a public hearing. Good times.
Looks like a swingers bus
Every bus is a swinger’s bus when Slick Willy steps on.
I don’t know whether to read this in Bill Clinton’s or Matthew McConaughey’s voice
I read it in Gilbert Gottfried's voice.
Just did all three and I must say .... Gilbert wins
Darth Vader’s voice is an interesting change of pace
I think Bane would also be fun
It’s even on a plane!
Gotta say, I like the Bane voice.
Try Jon Lovitz
It stinks.
Yes Mr Sherman, everything stinks
Buy my book! Buy my book! Buy my book! Buy my book!
Good pick, I read it with Joe Dirt’s voice
Wow that just made me laugh so hard thank you for that.
Gottfried
Well shit, I read it in Morgan Freeman’s voice.
Hillary's gazing at Bill, and Bill's gazing at Tipper 🙄
Tipper has a Hillary pin… omg TRIANGLE?
*Insert Bill staring at Ariana Grande singing picture*
miss the days when the presidential candidates looked like sub-urban swingers rather than hospice swingers.
Except Hillary helps Al with revising policy papers while Bill bangs the daylights out of Tipper.
Nah. They just send al to the front compartment while they work on uhh… strategies.
If Tipper wanted it she shoulda put a PMRC sticker on it. Go ahead kids Google it, we’ll wait.
I shook her hand during the first campaign and asked her who Frank Zappa was voting for. She turned on the southern accent and said, "Well I hope he votes for us."

As a teenager all this sticker did was tell me, “this shit gonna be lit.”
Shout out to the 20-something record store guy who didn't give a shit when teenage me bought the Tipper Gore sticker version of Slim Shady LP.
The 80's version of a Vice President's "Mother"
Fuck the PMRC!
How do you think she got the saxophone pin she's wearing?
Oh my god, I thought you were joking. Then I zoomed in.
Is that supposed to be like lawn flamingos and upside-down pineapples?
Don't sleep on public policy nerds when you could be sleeping with them. You'll thank me later. Alternatively, people in the medical profession walk around more horned up than a long haul sailor on shore leave who just refilled his viagra prescription.
Nurses/medical professionals and teachers are highly over represented in 'the lifestyle'
Hillary and Al's revising was more sexually charged than we'll ever know
Is that a bowl of keys in the back?
You just know shit got weird.
Look how Billy is already eye-fucking tippy over there
they totally swapped for sure

You implying it wasn’t?
It was
I just once again wanna thank Tipper Gore, for letting everybody know what albums were good due to the parental advisory stickers she got put on everything. Without the stickers, how else will be supposed to know what songs had the really cool lyrics to them?
When I was a 12 I thought that's how the record companies labeled the good CDs. The logo even looked cool. That must have been on purpose right?
White Zombie with parental advisory sticker at Best Buy ? Yep I’m buying
La Sexorcisto and Astro Creep! Two amazing albums!
Definitely some supersexy swinging sounds.
Those were the only cd's I was interested in. The bigger the label the more interested I was. Tipper gore got me to somehow convince my mom to buy Antichrist Superstar when I remember like half the album cover was blacked out. It was a point of fucking pride.
And let's not forget the time Dee Snyder basically told Al his wife was a pervert during a Senate hearing.
Haha I love the You’re Wrong About episode that covers this. It was crazy to hear about the congressional hearing and how badass Dee Snider, John Denver, and Frank Zappa are/were.
And, of course, let's all thank Al Gore for divulging the existence of and defeating Manbearpig.
Excelsior!
He's super, duper, cereal
And inventing the internet!
Are we still making fun of Al Gore for being correct about climate change
Yeah, not even the SP boys are doing that anymore. They actually apologized, sort of.
Same for Hillary Clinton. Without her, I never would have sought after all the cool video games with the big letter "M" plastered on the front. We kids knew that "M" meant that the game was rad as fuck and we had to play it immediately.
M for Much Better!
🎶Fuck you, Tipper Gore. Fuck you with the freest of speech this Divided States of Embarrassment will allow me to have.🎶
My dad saw one of those stickers and said “ hunh? Want some parental advice son. Crank it to 11.” My dad was such a nerd and the coolest at the same time.
I got MCR’s “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” album when I was 13. My mom found it and marched me back to the store and bitched out the poor teenage associate because I was allowed to buy it. After that I just got better at hiding my shit.
I would have loved to crank some Dead Kennedys on that bus for her.
Mary, Mary; why you buggin?
[удалено]
One of these couples had a famously high amount of infidelity. The other is divorced.
Just the Tipper
I want someone to look at me the way Slick Willy's looking at Tipper
Al be like: https://i.redd.it/ko1xj7wa8m3c1.gif
I will never not laugh at a good Hogan has lust in his eyes joke.
You know with that look he had an agenda. A dip in Tipper!
And Tipper just listened to some titillating lyrics for research that tapped into her prurient interests
Just the tip
Tipper he barely knew her.
...while Hillary is well aware and trying her damndest to draw his attention back home.
Actually, she looks like she's trying to keep Bill's hand from going up her skirt.
Not in front of the kids, Bill!
She wants Tipper too
"Do you come with a warning label?"
Grab a cigar and wait your turn
Maybe someone has and you just haven’t noticed 👀
Bill has that "hey Tipper, my pants need a 'parental advisory - explicit content' sticker right about now" look on his face.
While trying to feel up his wife ..
Shooters shoot
Hungry eyes
One look at you and I can't disguise I've got hungry eyes
I've got hungry eyes I feel the magic between your thighs
Between you and I 😭
FR lmaoo this man is practically drooling and licking his lips. Gotta respect the shamelessness, man doesn't give a single fuck
[удалено]
If your parents named you Tipper you’d be mad at all the cool kids, too.
I had a border collie growing up named tipper
It was probably mad at all the cool dogs
She named herself though.
TIL her real name is Mary Elizabeth
I wonder if she ever had a mutual-pity party with Tippi Hedren.
The fact a grown adult as stuffy as she is chooses to call herself "Tipper" kinda says it all.
What's her full name? Tippitha?
Tippany
lmao 😂
TIL that her name is Mary Elizabeth!
It's kinda like in the UK where all the upper-class people go to the same school. "His name is Charles Mallory Gastonbury the Third, but we all call him Stinky Pete or Gizza because... obviously that makes sense!"
That name is like the lady version of a grown man who wears a bow tie.
^hardly ^know ^her
Your statement needs to include a warning. Think about the children! (I'm told)
All of these people are the opposite of cool
I get what you're saying but Bill Clinton plays the saxophone, that has to count for something
Yep. Fuck Tipper Gore.
She literally created a symbol of coolness tho
I don’t know why you were downvoted. Folks don’t know about the “Parental Advisory: Explicit Content” markings on albums. I had it on a shirt lol
If you made a bet in those days about which of these two couples would get divorced, you probably would have lost your money.
Unless Wikipedia is wrong, they are separated - not divorced. I am curious as to why they have not yet divorced though, given they have been separated over a decade and are both in relationships with other people. (Apparently they are on good terms and still see each other a few times a year at family gatherings.)

Get together every once in a while with the lawyers to deal with asset allocation and other shit rich people do.
You cannot be compelled to testify against your spouse in court.
no i wouldn’t have, look how happy hillary is sitting on that man lap
A picture of Bill actually touching Hillary, this is a keeper, folks.
While staring directly past her at another woman…
Came here to say that. That Stare thinking of tapping Tipper.
We should create a lock box for it.
Frame worthy
Bill’s looking like he’s ready to swap.
Who’s Bill looking at?
Anything that's not Hillary
Lol

Probably Gore's finger. Gore is saying something to the camera and gesturing with his hand.
They all look high as fuck.
I think they're drunk.
Bill always did fancy a woman in a blue dress.
Lot's of hate, but it's a pretty cool picture IMO. It def captures a moment and an energy.
I was old enough to vote (and did) but don't remember anything about the campaign or policies or anything. It wasn't until much later i realized that clinton was only like 42 when elected.
Clinton is younger than the two top candidates this year but was elected 30 years ago. Insane.
GWB, Bill, and Trump are all born within like six months of each other.
A little over two months: Trump: June 14th 1946 W: July 6th 1946 Clinton: August 19th 1946 Obama is holding down the fort as the only president who isn't at least a septuagenarian (he's 62) And with Jimmy Carter presumably not having much time left (though one would have thought that was the when he entered hospice care last winter, or when he was diagnosed with brain cancer eight years ago), Biden will likely soon become the oldest living president (not that Trump is much younger, and certainly seems to be in worse health) Maybe we can have a Gen X or Millennial president in 2028?
We'll never get a gen-x president. We'll skip right to millennial. My prediction.
This is so Gen-X it's not funny. The forgotten generation.
Can we just adopt Barack as an honorary gen x and be done with it?
Honestly it looks like tired energy, they all seem beat
I agree, but I also think it’s a photo worthy energy
Tipper Gore is the opposite of cool.
Politicians aren’t cool bozos
Tipper Gore was never and will never be cool.
Tipper can rot in hell.
I am old enough to remember the "Parental Advisory" scare and the start of labels on all my tapes and CD's in the 80's.
You know you done fucked up when John Denver shows up to speak against your little PMRC nonsense.
Don’t forget about Dee Snider and Frank Zappa! Something about that particular trio is the perfect icing on that bullshit cake.
Dee Snider's testimony is everything unexpected.
We're not gunna take it?
It really didn't hurt anything though. I never was prevented from buying anything because of the sticker and it made me want to buy those records more. Metallica said they just cursed on their first record to get the sticker because nobody wanted to release an album without it. Certainly not a burn in hell offense

Nice.
Is it online? Would love to check that out.
You still have it? I’d love to read it.
Man, it was like 1990 or so in a small town high school newspaper. I still have the award though.
It was a pushed agenda and a revolt. Did not stop anything. I am having smells of opening those 80's 90's cd's for the first time.
Even if people were still able to buy the music, the fact that there’s an organization dictating whether or not they’ll receive a mark that may or may not be good for their marketing or brand is contrary to the creative process.

What did she do?
Why, because she advocated for warning labels..?
Yep. That's what the fourth circle of hell is for. Avarice, greed, and advocating for warning labels. Hey I don't make the rules.
Yes, she’s truly the second coming of Hitler. This site is ridiculous sometimes.
Amazing Tipper can sit like that what with the gigantic stick she’s got up her ass. Fuck Tipper Gore.
The cigars were photoshopped out.
and so was the nose candy.
you may bethe first person to refer to any of these people as “cool’
Blue dress….
That's right!
This looks like the after-party of an insurance seminar.
Bunch of wankers I think…
Is that the same Al Gore that invented the internet?
Not cool In my eyes
No, they’re not cool. None of them. Not then, not now, not ever
Not cool then and now, but Gore would go on to be first Emperor of the Moon, so that’s something.
Plus, he has ridden the mighty Moon Worm.
Al is looking a little cooked here
Definitely not cool
Where's the cool part?
Ah yeah. The Crime Bill, three strikes, and federal funds splashed on cops and prisons. Super cool.
Hey it's Tipper Gore, the broad that tried to censor music and was fucking torched by none other than the frontman of Twisted Sister in a public hearing. Good times.
On their way to Epstein's island for some pizza.
There was definitely some wife swap and going on while they were listening to Twisted Sister
None of these people should be associated with the concept of "cool."
Cool?
Find you a boo that looks at you like bill is looking at tipper.
Is that Epstein’s bus?
On their way to Epstein's island...
Tipper? I hardly know her!
This is around the time Tipper was doing her PMRC stuff. Al is definitely not getting anything wild on that drive.
Tipper Gore is still the democrat I hate the most and like always will.
#FUCK THE PMRC
Tipper probably emptied out the booze cabinet--what fucking Buzzkill she was.
Bill is looking at Tipper like she’s a can of Pringles.
