Why are some people still so afraid of this word? We ain't living in newspaper-and-margarine times no more. We can say what we want!
I especially mean on television. Why can't those guys on Big Bang Theory throw some foul language around? and on the news, sometimes there's a story ABOUT someone using the f-word. and even then they have to dance around it (not literally) as if everybody doesn't know what it is. They say "effing" or "f-word" or have "F***" written on the screen.
Hey guess what THAT'S THE SAME AS SAYING IT. Is there some sort of belief that pronouncing the word itself out loud would damage the lives of children? They USE that word! If you don't believe me, try yelling at a kid for walking on your grass. You'll hear it. and worse.
Everybody says it. See?
The worst is when someone on TV says "bleep" or "bleeping." THAT IS NOT WHAT THAT SOUND IS. Where did the L come from?
The time has come for the FCC to give in. I recommend that they concede defeat and officially authorize someone to pronounce the f-word on live broadcast television WITH permission for the very first time. a good candidate for this landmark feat would be James Earl Jones, in my opinion. He is well-liked, still currently alive, and is known for speaking very well. Schedule a 30-second spot, possibly right before the Superbowl, where James Earl Jones smiles into a camera, readies himself, and then simply says...
Millions will be outraged, but billions more will cheer. Just like all of his movies.
Until then, somewhere in his grave, George Carlin will be crying.
