Do people not realize that UJ’s use of the word was not the “profane synonym for buttocks” definition? Come on, people; if you’re in education, you need to understand the English language.

…even though it was rather obvious.

Outstanding Uncle Jay!. I wish you were our local newsman! Then we might have the real acts all the time instead of the dropping behind my favorite pet bull.

@Sandbar: Are you missing a “teaching moment” here?

Thank you once again, UJ, for telling it like it is. Soon I will be forced to get ALL my news from you, as my faith in most other outlets is eroding at an alarming rate.

Fantastic job! Please Sanbar, If the kids are old enough to read the word, they are old enough to understand the meaning. Have you never heard of a person making a “jackass” of themself??

Another kudos to Uncle Jay for snap-crackle-and-pop’n his way through the week’s news.

Next week, you should talk about…

If UJ is truly making these videos for kids, then dropping the “s” was clearly inappropriate.

Justifying the use of the word “asses” in UJ’s video by saying “they’ve heard it and worse on TV” is the same flawed thinking that has plunged this once, great nation into the moral quagmire it is today.

I am a principal in a Christian School and I have showed UJ’s videos to our students. No more. It’s obvious that UJ will resort to “gutter humor” to get a laugh. Too bad … they enjoyed his videos … I thought his standards were higher. Obviously not.

TV news has become nearly worthless to thinking people. It seems to be crafted primarily to indoctrinate sheeple. When something big finally happens, the cable news outlets FILL TIME with it continuously for hours to the exclusion of all else, despite having no more than a few minutes worth of new information during those hours. I turn the channel after getting the initial information and check back several hours later when I might be able to find out more in a couple of minutes.

As soon as ASSESS appeared, I knew that last S was eventually gonna be a goner…
