Well, while I didn't hear it, and I don't even have an opinion on it, I do have an opinion that we do need to have standards and limits, but I'm not sure that is in any way shape or form possible in today's world.

I guess it's ok to say anything on tv now because it would be ok to some.

Food for thought.

My thought is "Who's standards?" Yours? OP's? Mine? A politician's? A minister's? In this case, it's Q's decision as to what's ok and not ok on air. People just need to relax and stop nitpicking all the time.

Doesn't bother me. It's live TV, nothing is going to be completely professional 24/7. There are a lot worse words she could have said.

I think Q needs to add fainting couches to their product line and run a crawl listing stations carrying 50's programming which, by the way, was often considered risque.

I really don't find the saying "screw it" to be offensive - but that is jmo. There are a lot more phrases used today that are way more offensive.

It's not an offensive term to me but I don't find it particularly professional to say it while selling something on tv. Just seems kind of low class for the venue.

This is so INAPPROPRIATE!!!! Vendors should be professional!!!

I dont care what vocabulary they use in their personal life, or whats said on sitcoms, or risque commercials, or in the movies, or political ads, she's not having a casual conversation off camera with friends! ...She's a sales person and SALES PEOPLE who are trying to sell a product need to be PROFESSIONAL---it casts an image on BOTH the product and vendor!

If she wants to talk like that then instead of her current career in cosmetic sales, she needs to GET HER OWN REALITY SHOW where can say anything she wants !!!!!

It doesn't bother me because I know that time marches on and the meaning of words and expressions are always evolving.

Maybe there aren't many people left alive today today (or they forgot) that the word screw at one time is a substitute for the eff word. Its the exact same thing. I can completely understand why someone would be offended by hearing it said by a vendor on TV. It is equally as bad to say screw it as it is to say screw you if you know the meaning of the word. But time moves on.

Yes, that is inappropriate for a shopping channel. It is unproffessional and lacks decorum. I doubt anything will be said to the host by QVC.

Equuleus-I never expected to hear that on QVC so WHY would I have not had it on?

This sounds like my kids when they were little. "I didn't eat the whole cake" in response to being punished for eating a piece of cake that they were told not to eat. My goodness, we can rationalize ANY behavior by comparison to a more agregious behavior. I just don't understand statements like this?
