'Rockstar' Contestant Slips Expletive Past CBS Censors

cbsrockstar_jd1.jpg

In a hilarious use of Asian characters - pointed out by Tian, one of the contestants, J.D., on CBS' Rockstar INXS wore a shirt that, when viewed normally, appeared to say something in an Asian language but, when viewed sideways, clearly reads "Go Fuck Your Self." Censors did not catch the trick and images of the contestant are all over the Rockstar INXS website (as we figured, CBS has removed the images) and, presumably, were broadcast as well. Screenshots of the website are captured here and here for posterity's sake.

A friend of mine had one of those that said "FUCK THIS SHIT". Confused the hell out of a Chinese friend of ours who kept trying to read it top-to-bottom.

I'd be willing to bet that on a show like this, they probably don't dress themselves... Don't you think their wardrobe is provided? That makes it even weirder that CBS didn't catch it.

Actually, it is hebrew...the "go fuck yourself" with hebrew has been around for decades. My parents had a pin back in the '60s.

J.D. deserves to be right where he is. This is when everyone should be proud to be a canadian. Good luck to him and his future.

I have watched the whole season. I have thought that you had what it took all along. Good luck and enjoy it.

Hey, I have a question. How could INXS be recording their album all summer without knowing the winner? Would it be a male or female? What keys should the songs be in? What is the range of the singer? Hmmmm. Makes you wonder about reality shows. Reality?

Dolly, INXS has collaborated with many writers and have already said they have a HUGE pool of music ready for their album. Some has been written in the female key, some male. They're working on it now. Obviously they needed to be ready for either scenerio, which is why they worked hard prior to and during the competition. They've been interviewed several times...look up some interviews.
