Obscene & Profane & Indecent (Oh My!)
Anyone else find this positively bone-chilling?
FCC Combing Air Tapes For Dirty Words
Here's my favorite paragraph:
The commission this month asked for more time to consider affiliates' arguments that the agency erred when it decided variations of the words "fuck" and "shit" are indecent whenever broadcast, even if uttered accidentally.That's two of George Carlin's seven dirty words! Posted at Yahoo News, where anyone can see them! And now they're here!! Some fragile young person could be reading this post right now! Or some easily-offended self-proclaimed arbiter of contemporary community standards!

What I'm looking forward to is people being fined for using 'inappropriate' language in public places.
I can imagine someone stubbing their toe at the supermarket, blurting out "Fuck!", and then having the Profanity Police drop a citation into their shopping basket.
