I never understood why people take offence to 'goddamnit'. You're basically asking god to damn the situation you're currently in. How is that at all offensive to god or his followers?

What's even more fun is Dutch version of 'goddamnit' which is 'godverdomme'. In which you're basically asking god to damn you, not the situation.

It's still taking the name of the lord in vain, third commandment and all.

Don't you ever suggest you can tell God what to do. If you do it again, I'll pray to Him and tell Him to damn you.

How come we can talk to God, but when he talks to us they all scream 'schizophrenic!'?

Ontopic: The worst of them all has to be Chi** and Ni****. I have no problem with words like cunt and fuck.

Chick and Nighty? You naughty boy, you.

These don't really work since they're reserved for set races of people. I couldn't walk up to my dad and call him a nigger. He'd just be like "Where the fuck did you learn that shit language, you stupid cunt?"

Actually he'd more likely just vomit since he's sick.

"Suck my bloody tampon!"

I generally avoid the word 'Cunt', mainly because my female friends tend to get violent when they hear it used.

I always find it hilarious when American tv shows, even ones that are rated specifically for adults and shown late at night, bleep anything approaching a swearword; even words like 'tits' or 'crap'. Even more so when they pixelate a hand gesture. Here in Australia, tv and radio shows can say 'shit' at pretty much any time of day and there are no restrictions at all after 8:30pm.

On the other hand, this advert caused some controversy when it was on tv a few years ago. All sorts of old fogeys calling up talkback radio to complain about the foul language.

Shit man, I use chink all the time. I knew it was frowned upon by those dirty chinks, but didn't think it could be considered a curse word.

To Nate: FX late night gets away with a lot of things, same with Comedy Central. Thats about it though.

The only CC thing I watch is The Daily Show and they bleep freaking everything, which is goddamn stupid for a show that airs at 11pm. Unless it goes to air clean and then the bleeps are added for the web version; I dunno.

I wouldn't know, I don't watch that. CC has a block at night called the closet or something where they will show uncensored stuff though.

i don't use any racial slurs, i find them to be an incredible cheap shot at someone, like dirty fighting or hitting below the belt. i feel the same about calling someone 'retard', 'spastic' or similar terms. i may say retard on here, and it will most likely be in jest, but i don't call it someone outside the nets.

I use fuck in public rather a lot.

I don't use racial slurs simply becuase i try not to "be that guy". I will however admit that i find most racial slurs to be offensive for all the wrong reasons.

People need to shut up about swearing. Moody cuntfucks.

You can say shit on TV in general, not just FX and Comedy Central. ER is the one who got that ball rolling years ago.

And it's called Comedy Centrals Secret Stash. That's where they show unedited movies. I think it happens after 3 am. Maybe.

I thought it was 12 am. God, I love the South Park movie uncut, and Kill Bill uncut.

I like the censored version of Casino, and the edited versions of the Sporanos they show on PAX TV.

It's funny to think of the series finale of the Sopranos containing something so horrible at the end that even HBO needed to censor it.

What?

The abrupt blackout.

They don't bleep stuff here. Usually I watch Showcase (which is Canadian) or some Networks we get from Rochester. Both of them just change the words to something stupid. "I feel like shit crud."

It just looks silly.

They aren't drawing attention to it, though. It only looks weird when you watch really carefully or have seen the movie before.

They do bleep Trailer Park Boys, but it wouldn't as funny if you could hear everything.

On that note, apparently Lahey and Randy (John Dunswoth and Pat Roach) came to the local College to do their show. They signed the poster "To the Shit Tank (Shark tank, College bar),in the shittiest Shitville in the shitticane."
Or something. it made me smile.

I'd rather have the bleep.

I'd rather have the bleep for T.V. shows, but I don't really care otherwise. Not like I watch anything But TPB anyway.

If I ever get on daytime TV, i'm going to make it so they bleep the word cunt in morse code.

-.-. ..- -. -

You mean the intentional abrupt blackout done by the creators of the show for one of two reasons:
(1) Incredibly meaningful artistic symbolism
or
(2) They had no idea how to end it and decided to pretend like they had planned to do (1) all along.



A few people have said words to the effect of "I don't say XXXX except for in jest". I wonder if that's really true, or if people hide behind the 'I'm joking!' defence when they say something they know is distasteful.

Please. Publicity stunt.
