No.


Show business is pretty hosed up if Brian Williams doesn't cringe watching his daughter get her rear end eaten out of by some nonce.

Brian Williams about his daughter's hot rear end getting eaten out on TV posted:

She’s always been an actress. For us, watching her is the family occupation and everybody has to remember it’s acting, no animals were harmed during the filming, and ideally nobody gets hurt.

Yeah! Let’s do it! Let’s go there! Let’s explore all the cavities. Yeah, 2015 is the Butt Year. There is some type of sexual revolution happening, and maybe that’s one of the cliffs or peaks that we need to begin to incorporate into our societal representation of this revolution, specifically in television. This could be the year of the anus.

Actually, it's runoff Whedon-lite garbage for retards. Arrow and Flash are cheesy but in the best kind of way. No twee, quippy dialogue, no winks at the camera. That's the good kind of stupid comic book shot, sorry you don't get it.

A budget, retro Black Widow for serial tv, with people talking on the phone in the car in the 1940s because the writers can't comprehend how to write for an era they weren't born in.

I haven't watched and so I will reserve judgement on the show itself as to how they're used, but seriously, You know that there were car phones before 1990, right?

"Car Phone posted:

This service originated with the Bell System, and was first used in St. Louis on June 17, 1946. The original equipment weighed 80 pounds (36 kg), and there were initially only 3 channels for all the users in the metropolitan area, later more licenses were added bringing the total to 32 channels across 3 bands (See IMTS frequencies). This service was used at least into the 1980s in large portions of North America. On October 2, 1946, Motorola communications equipment carried the first calls on Illinois Bell Telephone Company's new car radiotelephone service in Chicago. Due to the small number of radio frequencies available, the service quickly reached capacity.

Yes, they were expensive, so they were the domain of the Rich and the Government, but they have existed for quite a long time.

You realize that for James Bond it was literally all just Deus Ex Machina technology, right? They just made up whatever they needed for the scene, then went back and wrote it into Q's demonstration.

So while there may have been car phones in certain cities that only the ultra rich could afford, them being in a James Bond movie isn't really a supportive argument.

And it's still a dumb show.

You realize that James Bond Deus Ex Machina technology stuff didn't start until the third movie, right? I mean, what wild technology did they use in From Russia With Love? A suit-case with a pop-out knife? A tape recorder disguised to look like a common camera? Oooh, really reaching with that Sci-Fi technology!

And since the argument is "Car phones didn't exist", showing that they pretty clearly did exist is about the most substantial argument you could come up with.
