Quoted: Fox is playing "Die Hard", he actually said "Turn the fuck around." Cool! I guess the FCC rules are actually in effect. Yippee ki-yay motherfucker! Was this when the cop showed up and he threw the body onto the car? Also, did the bleep "Yippee ki-yay motherfucker!"? |

Why is this cool? Because they are allowing more profanity on television. As the father of two young girls, I think it is disgusting. If you want profanity, rent a video or go to a bar.

For the broadcast version, Bruce Willis actually overdubed the line to: "Turn the TRUCK around!" That is the version that FOX played this evening.

profanity coming along by surprize when you have children is bad, no question.
a fact of life is that swearing happens in the real world,and in certain circumstances, such as is depicted in most action movies, it can occur quite often. i think it's nice that i'm not required to be deprived of seeing a movie as it was made because it was edited down because it "might" upset "some" viewers. it might not be practical, but it would be great if some movies were released to tv in both the editted and uneditted versions. as it stands, the movie is best released AS IT WAS MADE. it's up to the parents to check out the beginning of the movie or the guide to take note of adult language/nudity/violence/ etc. and for the parents to decide weather or not it is appropriate for their children to watch. they also have blocks that you can program into your cable to keep kids from viewing certain rated things. time and place for everything, even swearing. it shouldn't be everywhere, but it shouldn't be "banned" from all places either.

Maybe he doesn't have a problem with cussing, so why should he have to go to a bar or rent a video? |

A guy at work yesterday was telling me that per new FCC standards [i]fuck[/i] could be said on air if the context was non-sexual. Thus,"turn the fuck around", according the rumor, would be cool while "motherfucker" would be bleeped.
I thought he was full of poo at the time he was telling me this. |

Heard "shit" on NYPD blue the other day. Didn't bother me. Kids shouldn't be watching NYPD blue anyway. Hell, they shouldn't be up that late. The argument that certain things shouldn't be included in shows that are already unsuitable for children is stupid. If your kid is up at 11Pm on a school night, watching a violent cop show (or die hard) with already adult content, I bet that they've heard "fuck" or "shit" more than once, and very likely directed at them by their parents. |

make the words normal, get rid of the stigma. once it's normal it won't be such a big deal.
it's up to you if you want to use them..and possibly sound very white trash in the process. |

It eludes me why people think the world a better place when they can hear the F-bomb on TV.
Are their vocabularies so limited, and their ability to verbalize thought so limited as to NEED that word??? You know what they say - "Profanity is just evidence of a weak mind expressing itself forcefully." So true. |

If used properly, it gets the desired effect. This intellecutal elitism from the "I don't use profanity" crowd is pretty pathetic. You're so smart you don't have to cuss, yet you're too stupid to understand that it's just a word. Allow my weak mind to provide you with another fitting quote.

Profanity is certainly used for effect all right.
A young female attorney, who I would be proud to have as my own daughter, came up to me not long ago, and asked if I would send her any clients that I could not represent for one reason or the other. She was leaving a large law firm and wanted to see if I might send her some referrals to help establish her new practice. 'Absolutely', I said. As we continued to talk, she casually used the 'f' word in her conversation with me. I was floored, to say the least. Now she was about 25-27 years of age, using the 'f' word on a colleague who is old enough to be her father. That shows me an absolute failure of good sense and discretion on her part. I could have easily said, 'Pardon me, Miss, but I would never consider sending a referral to any attorney who didn't have enough common sense [u]not[/u] to use such a word in their ordinary conversation with a colleague.' But I didn't. Now, I think that it very unlikely that I will ever send her anyone but the dregs of society that enter into my office. So, if the 'f' word is useful for effect, then her use of that word sure had an effect, although I doubt it's the effect that she thought it might have. I suppose she thought it's use would impress me with how forceful or hard-nosed she would be in representing any referred clients. It didn't work. Eric The(Stern)Hun[>]:)] |

So in summation what you are saying ETH is that you have judged her abilities to properly and effectively represent her clients in a court of law because she used the acronym for
F or U nlawful C arnal K nowledge interesting. It surely must have power that word. |

Eric The(Stern)Hun[>]:)] Hun, what did she look like[}:D]? I agree on the proffessional dialogue but did you ever think she was trying to just be herself around you because she thought of you as a friend? Maybe she even wanted a little of The Hun lovin'? I curse like a Sailor, but then again I am a Sailor so I guess it balances out. I really don't care and I can't wait until there's FFN on network TV cause I wanna see that blond on NYPD Blue buck nekkid! Just censor what the kids can watch. My little girl is 6 so she has no interest in anything that isn't aired on the Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney channels. Not to get off topic but that Sponge Bob character is annoying. |

Not to speak for Eric, but I think that "being herself" was EXACTLY what ETH was afraid of. Fact is, when you professionally refer a friend or colleague of yours to someone such as this female attorney, YOUR reputation is at stake. If indeed she was "being herself", that ALONE is reason enuf to NOT refer a friend to a profane person. |

According to what I heard on Rush last week, the new FCC rules allow the F word to be used as an adjective but not as a verb.
Not a prude, but I don't need it in my face, in my house in an unexpected manner either. The "shock value" is rapidly depleting while the plain old vulgarity and lack of respect remains the same. |

College English majors will now be able to find a job after graduating. "Well, in this case, the F-word was used with the suffix "-ing" , before the plural possessive noun, making it a participle, and therefore an adjective. Had the actor used it as a direct object following an action verb, that would be unacceptable." [:D] |
