Okay, so you can't say "fuck" on TV anymore. I mean, I guess you couldn't before, right, but now you REALLY REALLY can't!
Is this such a bad thing? I see it as an employment opportunity. Start developing that quick reflex action, and maybe score that coveted position as mute-button pusher #2 (catching what mute button pusher #1 misses, of course). You don't even have to mute the whole word. "F[*quack!*]CK" is perfectly okay, just like it would have been okay if Janet's nipple ring had been 10% larger with a solid cap over the center.
It's hard to tell if the climate of fear in TV and radio will drive it to Amish levels of inhibition -- which would be really sad, since Amish people don't have televisions or radios -- or to an even denser collage of gutted swear words and pixelated penises than we're already being bombarded with. Either way, the poor unfortunate TV-landers are bound to grow increasingly jealous and resentful of alternate media's (satellite, internet, etc.) ever-greater monopoly on soul. Who will speak for them?? |
