It's fuckin' awesome to [expletive deleted]!
For anyone who's lazy and wants a summary -
The FCC has ruled that it's okay for broadcast television and radio to use the word "fuck", as long as it's not used in a sexual connotation. Which means that on any given episode of NYPD Blue, a criminal of the week can say, "I'm gonna fuckin' kill you," a statement that breeds hatred, violence, and a potentially fatal action. But in that same episode, I cannot make an Emmy-winning guest star appearance where Mark-Paul Gosselaar says that he'd like to fuck me (SHUT UP u nevar 4get ur 1st luv), a statement that involves a consenting act between two adults, potentially romantic.
I don't see networks rolling this out just yet. Maybe on Will and Grace first, since they've devolved to the point where they don't even use euphemisms anymore.
Karen: So, Grace, I was thinking about making a non sequitir remark about masturbation!
Grace: Then I shall taunt you because my vagina has been penetrated numerous times by my husband's penis in recent memory!
[Jack enters]
Jack: ANAL SEX!
[Will looks up from his newspaper]
Will: Fuck all of you.
I could start a diatribe about how America seems to fear sex and intimacy like nothing else, and has no scruples about gushing and guts, but I've said all I can say about that. Instead, I'm upset that one of my favourite words may someday become commonplace, and I'll have to come up with a new curse word to use. I'm gonna say "jamf."
