Oh wait, it's not on Howard Stern, the Drunge report or the Oinion

Here's one a little closer to home for you Meni (http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Articles&Action=View_Article&Content_ID=78307)


The Clean Airwaves Act, not to be confused with the better known Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act states that the following words should be considered profane: “the words 'shit', 'piss', 'fuck', 'cunt', 'asshole', and the phrases 'cock sucker', 'mother fucker', and 'ass hole'.”

Congressmen Doug Ose (R-Sacramento) and Lamar Smith (R-San Antonio), introduced the Clean Airwaves Act in December, well before the now infamous Janet Jackson performance during the Super Bowl halftime show, though the bulk of the bill’s co-sponsors threw their support to the bill after that event.

The bill was written in response to the FCC decision that U2 frontman Bono did not violate indecency standards when he used the phrase “fucking brilliant” during a live broadcast of the Golden Globes.

Although that ruling has been since overturned, The FCC’s rational at the time was that the word “fucking” was acceptable when used as an intensifier, a type of adverb that modifies the level or intensity of an adjective or another adverb.

So Ose tried to ensure that the morality of America would never again be challenged by grammar by closing all of the loopholes.The bill suggested that not only were the aforementioned words and phrases previously cited profane, their compound use, including hyphenated compounds, would be profane as well.

In other words, “asshole” and “ass-hole” are just as bad as “ass hole.”

And so are “other grammatical forms of such words and phrases (including verb, adjective, gerund, participle, and infinitive forms).”

Yet as the New Orleans Times-Picayune pointed out, Ose forgot to include adverbs on his list of grammatical forms – meaning that “fucking brilliant” would still be acceptable.

Meni - the moral pendulum swigs

No reason to get so wound about it

You can see it working both ways now

We might soon have mandated the list of words you can't say

Is some (radio) brodcasting a grey area we are trying to make black & white?

What's offensive to me might not offend you and who's community standards do we legislate by?

Is Stern a little over the edge? Yes, but I can choose to listen to him or not
