I wonder how those same people would find it "cute, and adorable" if their own two year old uttered the F-word in front of their hoity toity crowd? I'll even go one further, and wonder how funny it would be that when said youngster is asked where they learned it, and the response would be from your TV show.

Sadly the Hollywierd crowd has always wrapped their actions in the first amendment. Do they have a right, well, in a way yes, and in a way no, there are guidelines in place. Remove guidelines as these folks are advocating and well, the rest is obvious.

Additionally, it seems to me, that those that are so critical of government trampling on their rights are the ones that seem to benefit from all sorts of government goodies. This includes, the (1%ter) TV exec, to the lowly, downcast, downtrodden ditch digger. The major complaint is, "hey, when are more goodies going to be doled out from the government coffers?"

I can only hope that Hollywood is successful. Then perhaps I can use the f-word explicitly when I comment about the FN disgusting, FN dysfunctional FN derelicts that pretend to be representing the interests of their constituents. Get my FN drift?

The first item is to realize that the standard for sexual harassment in the work place is to be exposed to "language, behavior, suggestions and situations" that suggest a sexual meaning and cause discomfort and or embarassment to the receipient." Thus - with unbridled morality the media can drive itself from all public places. Bars, eating places or anyplace with a television or movie access that would spout this trash the entire time a person was in the establishment. People who work there could file against the owner for the removal of the offending device (TV)and if the owner decided to fire them - it would make the owner liable under additional charges of concealing sexual harassment of an employee. Let the entertainment industry go down this path. They will need to find a way to defend themselves against contributing to the deliquency of minors, to defend themselves against the elimination of their idiot boxes from the public places because decent people find their endless sexual harping tedious and offensive. The first amendment right does allow you to say what you want and even how you want. But it does not ensure that you will have an audience to say it to and it does not allow you to be offensive and spoil the environment of people who do not want to hear the drivel being produced. All rights extend only as far as the exercise of them does not impede the excercise of another free person's rights. You wnt to stop this? Get some backbone and do not patronize the services that participate in producing the endless offensive drivel.

I`m with JJ. Fox is absolutely the filthiest channel on TV. I refuse to watch any of their programming. If everyone would do this, they would soon be out of business. The consumer bears a large part of the blame for what is going on with the so-called entertainment being presented today.

Can someone explain to me what makes the so called "F bomb" a "dirty" word? And why the following words have "dirty" alternate words? anus, penis, vagina What makes these words "dirty" ?

Taking the Lords name in vain is "dirty" if you're connected to some religions. Who decided that a word is "dirty". When you arrange the letters of one of these "dirty" words in a different order is the word still "dirty"?

Hey, BJ, can you explain to me what makes robbery wrong? Who decided that robbery, or rape, or murder, for that matter, is wrong? I guess they are wrong if you connect them to some religion, but what about the non-religious? Are they still wrong?

I believe it was Red Skelton who was asked why he doesn't tell dirty jokes? His response why should I tell a joke anyone can see on a restroom wall. Nuff said.

Interesting comments from someone calling him/herself "BJ"...just sayin'

Hey, "BJ": The answer to your "simple" question is very "simple". "Simply" put: WORDS MEAN THINGS!!! But, of course, being "educated" in the public skool system, I wouldn't expect anyone to understand that..............

I have a friend whose son uses the "F-Bomb" every day. But then my friend says, "Yes, that's a TRUCK."

Lot's of responses but no real answer."Words mean something???

So using the word penis doesn't mean the same as the "dirty" description. And fornicate and it's descriptive cousin don't mean the same? Robbery, rape, and murder are actions not words. Howard had a thoughtful comment. My comment was obviously wasted on the rest of you. Pity.

@ BJ-

Remember toilet humor? You know, the stuff little kids laugh at mainly because of the 'naughty' value.

It's pretty much the same bawdy jokes that immature people like so much that usually will offend someone.

What do you think when someone lets loose with a cussing rant after, say, missing a putt?

Well, I like some good ol' nasty jokes myself now and then but I won't say them in mixed company. It would certainly show that I had no class. It would also show that I couldn't care any less for you or anyones feelings.

I refrain from letting loose with a verbal barage of swear words for fear someone may hear and think that my vocabulary was something akin to some derelict.

I have my pride after all.

I also try to have a little class as well, something that is certainly lacking today.

Do I want to hear it on TV all the time? No.

So, I don't know your upbringing but to me, I think that your either a classy individual or you're trailer trash.

What does anyone expect of Hollywood? Its position here is no great remove from the recent "revelations" that pedophilia is widespread there and has been for ages. It is all about moral relativity--i.e. the philosophical position that there are no objective truths. BJ must be a moral relativist. Probably an atheist, too. We all know, I trust, the worst thing about being an atheist, don't we? Namely, there is no one to whom to cry out at the moment of greatest sexual ecstasy.
